Amanda Kadinov connects collectors to the pulse of the global art world—with strategic clarity and cultural fluency.

Amanda Kadinov is an art advisor by trade and an ambassador for the arts in Texas by vocation. With deep roots in the state and long-standing relationships with globally recognized galleries, curators, and artists, Amanda offers her clients rare access— both to in-demand works and to the conversations that shape emerging markets. Her guidance blends market intelligence with the learned insight needed to build collections of lasting financial and cultural value.

Her clients, both corporate and private, benefit from the kind of advice that shifts opportunity into advantage. From securing primary market works by sought-after names to advising on placement, divestment, and legacy strategy, Amanda guides every step with discretion, rigor, and results. Whether stewarding a new collection or refining a seasoned one, she ensures each acquisition aligns with the identity of the collector— their story, their aesthetic vision, and their investment goals.

Extensively traveled and a specialist in the contemporary Middle East, Amanda regularly organizes bespoke trips to global art fairs, biennials, and artist studios—bringing the international art world to Texas, and Texas collectors into the fold of influential cultural moments. Her sharp eye, deep market knowledge, and intuitive sense of timing make her a trusted partner in navigating an often opaque landscape.

Beyond transactions, Amanda helps her clients become cultural participants. She advises on philanthropic strategy and institutional involvement. Her own commitments include leadership at the Visual Arts Center at the University of Texas, where she currently sits as Chair of the Advisory Circle. She’s a connector, a strategist, and a behind-the-scenes force who turns relationships into access—and access into impact.
