Building museum-quality contemporary art collections for collectors across North America and Asia. ✦

BEGIN TO COLLECT

Perhaps it's a new home waiting for its first artwork. A renovated penthouse ready to come alive. A headquarters reflecting the ambition of the company behind it. Or simply the beginning of a contemporary art collection built to live with for decades. Collecting is more than filling walls. It's about shaping the spaces you live in while building a collection with lasting cultural and financial value.

MEET YOUR ADVISOR

Tracy Yuan founded TRACE OUT ART, a New York contemporary art advisory, in 2020.

She advises private collectors across North America and Asia through bilingual advisory in English and Mandarin Chinese, helping collectors navigate leading galleries, international art fairs, and the global secondary market.

Judgment over trends. Every acquisition is chosen not only for where it belongs today, but for the collection it will become tomorrow.

ACQUIRE WITH CONVICTION

Transacting eight figures in artwork annually, Tracy advises private collectors through longstanding relationships with leading galleries including Pace, White Cube, David Zwirner, Gagosian, international art fairs including Art Basel and Frieze, and opportunities across the global secondary market through auction houses and private sales.

Every recommendation considers artistic significance, institutional momentum, market intelligence, and each collector's personal vision—building collections with lasting cultural significance and long-term financial value. Every recommendation is backed by market insight, not market sentiment.

CLIENTS: Seasoned private collectors across North America+ Asia

OBJECTIVE: Lasting cultural significance + long-term financial appreciation

ACCESS: Leading galleries · International art fairs · Private sales · Auctions

STRATEGY: Balancing acquisitions across emerging, mid-career & established artists.

LIVING WITH ART

CLIENTS: Private collectors · Interior designers · Luxury residences · Corporate & hospitality projects

OBJECTIVE: Bringing contemporary art into everyday living.

APPROACH: Creating a dialogue between architecture, design & contemporary art.

PROCESS: Site planning · Digital mockups · Scale studies · Installation coordination

EXECUTION: Artwork sourcing · Installation · International logistics

The best collections don't end in storage—they become part of everyday life.

Whether furnishing a newly completed residence, a penthouse overlooking Central Park, or a corporate headquarters, every project begins with understanding the architecture, natural light, scale, and the people who inhabit the space.

Rather than selecting artwork to simply complement a room, Tracy works closely with homeowners, architects, interior designers, and private collectors to thoughtfully integrate contemporary art into luxury residences and commercial spaces. Every artwork placement is considered not only for how it transforms a space today, but for the role it plays within the collection for years to come.
