Derek Jessop

Derek analyzes and advises on Chinese contemporary art for individuals, public institutions and corporations.

Formally trained in valuing art by Sotheby’s in London, England, Derek has supported and advocated for Chinese art since he co-curated his first exhibition of Chinese contemporary art with Zhang Shengtian and Dr. Annie Wong in 1997.

Intelligence + Insight
Derek helps provide a clear understanding of how critical, and commercial, value is determined for individual works of art within a Chinese, and an international, context.

Helping collectors understand what they’re buying, its place in the art market, and how it is judged, Derek brings transparency and simplicity to the process of acquiring contemporary art from China. He identifies opportunities, analyzes risks and negotiates transactions between artists and collectors.

Exhibition planning + execution
Drawing on a decade of experience executing transnational exhibitions of Chinese art, Derek provides public institutions and commercial galleries with the support and infrastructure necessary to stage exhibitions of art from China.

Uniquely connected, Derek arranges privileged access to leading members of the Chinese contemporary art world.
