Aniko’s career began in the traditional art world. After studying Art History at NYU, she received her MA from Christie’s Education, and went on to become Director at Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York and then Monique Meloche, Chicago. In this capacity, she worked with blue-chip and emerging artists alike, from Frank Stella to Amy Sherald, organizing exhibitions, art fairs, and facilitating private and institutional acquisitions and sales.
After completing her MBA at University of Chicago Booth School of Business with a focus on Finance and Entrepreneurship, she dove into web3 as Director of Art Partnerships at OneOf in spring 2021. Here, she worked on projects including the platform’s launch with Doja Cat, the record-breaking Diana Sinclair/Whitney Houston collection on Tezos, and the inaugural Grammys NFT collection.
