Bellinger was a partner at London art dealers Colnaghi for thirteen years, until the company was merged with Spanish gallery Coll & Cortez in 2015.[4] One of Bellinger’s primary roles was managing its art library and 225-foot archive, which she and her partner Konrad Bernheimer bought from Christoph Graf Douglas, the former head of Sotheby’s in Germany and the son-in-law of Rudolf August Oetker, whose company owned Colnaghi between Jacob Rothschild and Bernheimer.
In addition to her professional career in the arts, Bellinger assembled a private collection of more than 900 works, including paintings, prints, photographs, and sculptures.[2] In 2001, she founded the Tavolozza Foundation, a non-profit organisation based in Munich.[5]
