About Us

Art Trader is a curated platform and private art gallery located on Regent Road in Sea Point, Cape Town. We connect collectors and art lovers with both pre-loved and new artworks from emerging, local, and international artists.

Whether you’re looking to acquire something special or find a new home for a piece you already own, you can browse our ever-evolving collection online or visit our gallery in person.

Before any resale piece is listed, it’s professionally assessed, photographed, and, where possible, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Once a target price is agreed upon, Art Trader acts as a trusted broker between buyer and seller—ensuring a smooth, secure, and personal process.

From fresh works straight from the artist’s studio to timeless pre-owned pieces, Art Trader is a space where art continually shifts, surprises, and inspires.

About Lisa

After a decade living between London and the USA, Lisa returned to her hometown of Cape Town and began representing five artists. She soon opened The Lisa King Gallery, which ran for over 14 years in the Cape Quarter, becoming a beloved local art destination. It was here that Lisa and her mother, Pat, shared their passion for art—living, learning, and curating together.

In 2009, Lisa also launched The Lisa King Collection, a successful ladies footwear brand still going strong today.

With an eye for opportunity and a love for beautiful things, Lisa created Art Trader—a space where art finds new homes and stories continue. She now collaborates with fellow galleries, designers, and consultants, bringing a fresh, flexible approach to art brokerage.

Her guiding belief?
“Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.”
