Roitfeld moved to New York City at age 17 to study at NYU before graduating from the University of Southern California School of International Relations and Cinematic Arts in 2007. Subsequently, he worked as an assistant producer for Paramount Pictures, before making the transition into the art world.

Until 2016, Restoin Roitfeld served as the founder and director of Feedback Ltd., a Manhattan-based private art dealership that staged exhibitions with artists such as Andy Warhol, Peter Lindbergh, Tom Wesselmann, and Richard Hambleton.

Roitfeld was inspired by "pop-up" galleries, in which museum-style exhibitions have been installed in industrial spaces in New York, London, Paris, and Milan. He has worked on exhibitions with the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Sotheby's S2 Gallery and Phillips de Pury. In 2012 Roitfeld created a private art dealership headquartered in New York.

At the 17th annual Cinema Against Aids amfAR gala in Cannes in 2010, Roitfeld collaborated with amfAr-supporter Giorgio Armani on contributing to the organization's auction tent, which included an exhibition of works by Richard Hambleton. Roitfeld and Andy Valmorbida curated the collection and donated two rare pieces to the event. Auctioneer Simon de Pury moderated the bidding and the lots brought a combined total of $920,000.
