Leticia Hoffman - Art, Luxury & the Value of Collecting
It’s part of Who’s In The Room? | Curated Conversations for Creatives, a series focused on:
Conversations with the people shaping tomorrow.
Leticia joined The Fine Art Group in 2014 and was appointed Vice President, Australia in 2022. With more than a decade in the art world, she advises private and corporate clients on building, managing and developing collections across fine art and luxury assets. Her experience includes major international collections and landmark sales, including Maharajas & Mughal Magnificence, the Juffali collection and the Cartier ‘Sky Blue Diamond’. Our conversation will explore Art, Luxury & the Value of Collecting.
Who should attend: Collectors, aspiring collectors, and anyone diversifying into passion assets with intent. Private wealth principals looking to understand art as a genuine portfolio category. Anyone who wants their December capped with something considered, not another end-of-year function.
What you'll take away A clear-eyed view of how blue-chip art is valued, held, and traded at the top of the market. Direct access to Leticia and the Fine Art Group network. A close to the year's series in a room built around the same standard it started with.
The evening
5:30pm sharp — Doors open, arrival drinks
6:00–7:00pm — Leticia Hoffman in conversation with Robert Ian Bonnick
7:00pm — The Press Collective, live
Capacity is held to 50 seats. This one is built to stay a room, not become an audience.
Why this partnership exists?
House of XYZ doesn't run activations. We build unrepeatable moments, built around a shared standard, not a shared industry.
The Press by Merivale gives us the room they're known for: considered, hospitality-first, built to move. House of XYZ brings the moment, the calibre, the cultural currency, the discipline to make one evening unlike anything else on the calendar.
Together: Curated Conversations, one evening, one story, told by someone who's lived it, then live from The Press Collective. No decks. No panels for panels' sake. Just a moment worth being in.
