Sharlane Foo



Art advisory and cultural strategy, shaped by leadership roles across Asia’s leading galleries.


I advise collectors, institutions, and cultural businesses on private sales, market entry, and long-term positioning within the global contemporary art market, with a particular focus on Asia.

My work is grounded in market clarity, pricing discipline, and cultural intelligence, shaped by senior roles within leading international galleries. I engage selectively on mandates where discretion, alignment, and long-term value matter.



I work at the intersection of art, culture, and strategy.


I advise artists, collectors, institutions, and brands, with a focus on long-term value, cultural relevance, and clarity of intent.

My experience spans commercial galleries, artist management, curatorial projects, and editorial work.

Selected experience

Former Associate Director, White Cube Hong Kong


Previously with leading contemporary galleries and institutions across Singapore, Hong Kong, and Beijing

My approach is shaped by working across market cycles, institutional contexts, and collector profiles over time. I operate where enthusiasm, pressure, and long-term consequence converge, and focus on distinguishing momentum from conviction.
