Born in Germany and raised in the Washington metropolitan area, Zaide Isaiah developed an early appreciation for visual culture through design and collecting. This passion first took shape through a successful consignment venture launched while studying in the U.S., where sourcing and curating high-demand fashion pieces sharpened his eye for quality and his understanding of cultural value.
Recognizing the potential to contribute to Amsterdam’s creative landscape, Isaiah relocated there in 2024. He immersed himself in the gallery community, gaining experience at Galerie Caroline O’Breen and under the mentorship of art dealer Dirk den Hartog, building the foundation for his independent practice dedicated to placing meaningful, investment-grade works and championing artists whose vision deserves wider recognition.
To deepen his strategic approach, Isaiah completed coursework in Art and Finance in a Global Market at Sotheby’s Institute of Art - New York, gaining insight into art investment, valuation, and market dynamics.
Today, he operates with a focus on the secondary market, placing Post-War and Contemporary paintings and sculpture into collections across Europe and North America, while advising on select primary acquisitions. His practice engages closely with works by artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Prince, Cecily Brown, Francis Picabia, Frank Auerbach, Andy Warhol, Jean Dubuffet, and CoBrA figures like Karel Appel and Eugène Brands. Working through a trusted network of artists, galleries, and private collectors, he conducts acquisitions with discretion. Guided by a belief that collecting should be intentional, he prioritizes works of exceptional quality and provenance, creating lasting value for the collectors he serves.
