The New York City-headquartered brokerage Nest Seekers International has unveiled Nest Collections, an affiliate art brokerage created in partnership with Studio Kasa founder Josh Kasper.

According to the company, Kasper will lead Nest Collections in offering Nest Seeker clients the opportunity to acquire curated pieces. Nest Collections will operate as a full-service brokerage by commissioning works, managing logistics, advising on resale strategies, and serving as both art consultant and acquisitions negotiator.

“I founded Studio Kasa with a mission to demystify the art world and make art acquisition a meaningful, transparent experience,” said Kasper, a former Goldman Sachs executive. “Now, with Nest Collections, we’re taking that mission to an entirely new level—pairing art with architecture, and storytelling with investment. Nest Seekers is the perfect platform to scale this vision.”

Melissa Cann-Evans Alonso, a former European director of ARTnews and founder of Cann-Evans & Associates, has been recruited as Nest Collections’ head of private sales for art resales. Alonso will advise clients on private sales, auction strategy, and blue-chip acquisitions.

“Art is not just a visual experience – it’s a statement of identity, legacy, and investment,” she said. “Our goal is to guide clients through every facet of the acquisition or resale process with expertise, transparency, and taste. Nest Collections is the bridge between inspired living and intelligent collecting.”
