ABOUT

The history of collecting
is the history of preservation—
of ideas, of instincts, of time.
To collect is to shape
a personal narrative within a larger
cultural one.
It’s not about possession, but participation.
Not accumulation, but authorship.

Today’s art world moves fast.
Visibility often stands in for value.
But real collecting is slower.
It’s built on attention, trust, and taste—
not noise.
At its best, it’s a conversation:
between artist and viewer, instinct and inquiry,
private sensibility and public moment.

Ryba Art Advisory was founded
to preserve that space.
We are a full-service advisory firm
working with new and established collectors
to build meaningful collections
that hold weight beyond trend cycles—
collections that are intellectually grounded,
emotionally charged, and culturally relevant.

Our approach is intuitive and informed.
It’s shaped by deep research, close relationships,
and a belief that even within an ever-changing market, there is room for clarity, care and
for something that endures.

She has a proven track record of successfully sourcing, acquiring, and managing high-value artworks for a diverse range of private and corporate clients. With a passion for art, a deep understanding of the market, and the ability to identify and nurture talent, Ryba has quickly established herself as a young, recognizable advisor in the industry.

Educated as an artist at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney, Ryba earned a BFA in photography and graduated with honors.

This combination of quality curatorial and art advisory experience has shaped how Ryba moves through the art world and builds collections. Ryba views each collection as an ongoing curatorial project, ensuring it challenges and intellectually satisfies each client according to their specific taste.

RAA

Ryba Art Advisory

A New York Based
Art Consultancy.

Working Globally.

Point. Line. Plane.

Externally-or-inwardly.

A tangle of aberrant lines.

All red and pink and orange.

Dissolve into tonalities.

Into something close to music.

Or a cloud.

It holds a feeling.

Until it goes away.

Or becomes something else.

A chord like this has no key as such.

It’s all relationship.

If you want a more exact name.

Call it ambiguity.

Caught in the clash,
of shapes and sounds

and fleeting light.
