Gladys Lin is an independent art advisor and project initiator working across international contemporary art and Asian modern and contemporary art.

Her practice has developed through sustained engagement with artists, collectors, galleries, and institutions across Asia, Europe, and the United States. Since 2007, she has been involved in introducing and positioning international artistic practices within Asian collecting and institutional contexts, often working over extended periods with artists whose practices are complex and long-term in nature.

Gladys has worked within a range of gallery and institutional environments shaped by different cultural and structural conditions. These experiences have informed an approach grounded in context, discretion, and long-term alignment, rather than visibility, speed, or market momentum.

She has worked closely with artists across both private and institutional contexts, supporting projects that span private collections, exhibitions, and cross-regional collaboration. Her role often sits between advisory, project development, and structural mediation—working with collectors, artists, and institutions at moments of transition or strategic decision-making.

In 2012, she founded Gladys Lin Projects as a platform through which her advisory work, project-based collaborations, and experimental exhibition initiatives could be developed in parallel. The platform reflects her belief that meaningful engagement with art requires sustained attention, clear structure, and an awareness of how decisions resonate over time.
