Amy Gold, via Christie's

After a decade at Christie’s, Amy Gold has joined L & M Arts as a Senior Director, according to a gallery press release. She joins partners Dominque Levy and Robert Mnuchin at L & M as the gallery expands this year with the fall opening of a Los Angeles branch. L & M operates from a townhouse on East 78th Street, where the gallery handles both primary and secondary market sales.

Gold rose steadily through Christie’s ranks. She was initially based in Chicago and served as the company’s midwest director. She was promoted to senior vice president and director of business development in New York. She was named a deputy chairman of Christie’s Americas in 2006. She left Christie’s at the end of 2009.

Gold’s husband Brett Gorvy is Christie’s international co-head of postwar and contemporary art and also a deputy chairman.

Gold has a BA in Art History from De Paul University, and an MA in Art History from The University of Chicago.
