Hello, I'm Jasmin Kossen! Art lover, art collector, dealer and career coach. 

Born in HongKong to Persian and German parents, I always had a global mind set: the world is small and beautiful!  

For over 12 years I owned an international art gallery. My gallery JanKossen Contemporary established its HQ in Basel Switzerland, before I opened a second space in the US in New York City in Chelsea; with finally a third location in Venice Italy. I  represented contemporary artists from the US, Europe and Asia who worked predominantly in mixed media. JanKossen was an active gallery, and with our program of 18 artists we annually hosted approximately six gallery shows in our locations and  were active on the art-fair circuit. We exhibited in the US (New York, Miami, the hamptons) in Hong Kong and in Europe (Paris, Cologne Germany, Spain, Italy etc).

My background is global business administration and international marketing, where I did both an MBA and a PhD. After having worked for almost 12 years in Asia snd Europe within the healthcare arena in the corporate world, in advertising agencies, as well as running my own communication agency, I decided to dedicate my business experience to a subject I love: contemporary art!  

I enjoy passing on my knowledge to artists who are thinking of working with a professional gallery, but are not sure how to start. There are a few challenges if an artist is not prepared in advance, since like any business relationship, it must be built on mutual trust. Deciding whether or not the gallery route is for you, is the start, and then making your own criteria who could be a good fit, is the next step…. Leading to the next step… ! 

I hope you will enjoy my lessons and that they may help you reach your artistic career goals!
