The Art of Access: Absolut Art CEO Nahema Mehta

State Of The Art

Before exiting her own start up (Art Remba) to co-found and become CEO of Absolut Art, Nahema Mehta did stints working for the Supreme Court, Merrill Lynch, and Sotheby’s. Her cross disciplinary life makes her the perfect person to run Absolut Art, a company dedicated to becoming the place people go to buy art, that also happens to be the little brother of that well known vodka company. In today’s episode Nahema and Ethan talk about Absolut’s incredible 30 year history supporting artists, why it’s important to tell artists’ stories, and how to create a seamless art experience, from discovery to display.

- About Absolut Art -

At Absolut Art, our goal is to inspire more people to live with contemporary art. We get that the scene can be intimidating, but we’re not. We personally trek across the globe with respected curators to scout trailblazing artists that are loved by locals and collected by museums like MoMA. Then we bring their incredible work straight to your walls - signed, numbered and professionally framed. Simple.
