Who We Are
Where the gavel meets the conservation table — and both answer to the same standard.
I'Arte Rinasce — Italian for "Art Reborn" — was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that art is not merely an object to be bought and sold, but a living record of human memory, culture, and identity.
At its heart, I'Arte Rinasce exists to make art more accessible and inclusive — a platform where established masters stand alongside emerging voices, where talent is recognised beyond geography, and where young artists are given a genuine opportunity to present their work on a global stage.
Founder & CEO
Aishwarya Chandurkar
Conservation & Restoration · Lorenzo De' Medici Institute, Florence
Aishwarya trained at the Lorenzo De' Medici Italian Institute in Florence before spending a decade as Director of Art Conservation & Art Expert at Astaguru Auction House,India and two years studying & working across Italy. She returned to New Zealand in 2025 with a conviction that the Pacific deserved the same depth of scholarship and care that European and Indian collections received as a matter of course. I'Arte Rinasce was her answer to that gap.
She leads our art advisory panel, oversees all conservation treatments and advises collectors on acquisition, condition and long-term stewardship — bringing museum-standard conservation & restoration services to Auckland,New Zealand, while maintaining a presence in Mumbai and Delhi, India, offering expertise to collectors, galleries, institutions, and artists across both regions
Connect on LinkedInWhat We Stand For
Four principles. No exceptions.
Trust & Authenticity
Building confidence through rigorous due diligence, provenance research, authentication, and transparent practices across acquisitions, sales, and collections management.
Authentication Without Compromise
We follow the evidence, not the market. Our authentication assessments draw on technical examination, archival research and independent scholarly opinion. We will not confirm what we cannot substantiate — and we will say so plainly when we cannot.
Expertise & Insight
Providing informed guidance through market intelligence, scholarly research, professional valuations, and specialist advisory services tailored to collectors, institutions, and artists.
Auction with Integrity
Our auction programme is built on transparency: accurate condition reporting, honest estimates and full provenance disclosure. We would rather pass on a consignment than misrepresent it. The trust of buyers and sellers is the only currency that compounds.
Cesare brandi
“The role of restoration is not to recreate the artwork, but to recover its potential unity while preserving the traces of its history.”
