AXA ART’s President & CEO of North America, Christiane Fischer, named among the art world’s Power 100 List by Art + Auction Magazine
The long-running yearly guide is an art world authoritative voice and includes individuals from auctioneers to Old Masters dealers, patrons, rain makers, trendsetters and behind-the-scenes power brokers who drive the international art world and are responding to a shifting art marketplace. Members of this list include those embedded within the contemporary art scene in New York to those in emerging markets such as Brazil, China and Moscow.
To help create the yearly ranking, the magazine solicited a jury of advisers adept in the dealings of the art world. Others named in the ranking include Francois Pinault and mega art dealer Larry Gagosian.
Fischer was cited for her activities as President & CEO of AXA Art Insurance Corporation, which includes turning the company into one of the largest museum insurers in the United States. In addition to amassing a significant percentage of North America’s top 200 collectors as clients, Fischer's market development work includes AXA ART’s recent entry into Mexico, a growing international art destination.
