Born in 1985 in Düsseldorf, Germany, and raised in Germany, Japan, and Paris. She graduated from McGill University in Montreal with a degree in Political Science and received a Master’s Degree in Hospitality Management from Les Roches University. After working in New York, she has lived in Paris for the past 10 years.
She grew up with art, visiting fairs and exhibitions and participating in regular studio visits, and began collecting artwork in earnest in 2019.
Through her own collection, she has been asked by galleries and artists to be involved as an advisor regarding exhibition space and career, and now spends her time supporting artists, introducing them to gallerists and collectors, and also being invited as a curator.
She also introduces artists who are not yet known internationally, such as Almine Lech and Mayuko Ose.

Previously a management consultant, Christoph Noe decided to switch industries and work in the contemporary art scene. Initially focusing on Chinese contemporary art, later he co-founded LARRY’S LIST, the leading art market knowledge company providing data, research and access to contemporary art collectors. In his role, he has edited and published a number of books and reports including a catalogue raisonné for the painter Liu Ye; the first publication of this kind for a Chinese contemporary artist, the “Private Museum Report (2016 and 2023)”, a global overview on the landscape of privately founded contemporary art museums, and “The Next Gen Art Collectors Report (2021)”, a survey on art collectors below the age of 40 and the best-selling guidebooks “How to Not Fuck Up Your Art-World Happiness (2022)” and “Swapping VIP Pass for Happy Meal (2024).”

He has not been only advisor and a sparing’s partner to some major art collectors and private museums, but also to corporate clients from the fashion, luxury and automotive industry on their art engagements.

Christoph Noe has lectured extensively on the art market, among others for academic institutions including Angewandte University, Vienna, Ewha University, Seoul, and HKU. Leading global news media and art press, from Financial Times to China Daily, have been quoting Noe on his expertise on the global art market.

He co-founded BrainPad Inc., a pioneer in big data and AI ventures. He began purchasing contemporary art in 2018. Through collecting, he has gained a great deal of joy. He now organizes an entrepreneurs’ contemporary art club to expand this enjoyment and increase the number of collectors. Additionally, he actively participates in various activities to address issues in the contemporary art industry, such as serving as a committee member of the Japan branch of the National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) in the United States, which works to eliminate gender inequality in the art industry.

Justine Alexandria Tek, the Director of Yuz Museum Shanghai and Yuz Foundation, has successfully overseen the museum of a series of major international exhibitions such as “Rain Room by Random International” (2015), “Twin Tracks: Yang Fudong Solo Exhibition” (2015), “Alberto Giacometti Retrospective” (2016), “Andy Warhol: Shadows” (2016), “KAWS: Where the End Starts” (2017), “Yoshitomo Nara” (2022) and the “YUZ Project Space of Art” exhibition series that aim to support emerging artists.

Under her leadership, the team maintains strong partnerships with leading international institutions. Its efforts has largely contributed to the collaboration between the Yuz Museum Shanghai (YUZM), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and the Qatar Museums (QM), which creates multi-site exhibition programs such as “In Production: Art and the Studio System” at YUZM (2019), “Legacies of Exchange: Chinese Contemporary Art from the Yuz Foundation” at LACMA (2022), “Watering the Desert | Contemporary Art from Qatar” at YUZM (2023) that offer a truly global perspective and captures the world’s attention on China with a brand-new concept “Yuz Flow”.
