With the art market still in an uncertain state and buying still seemingly below previous levels, it might make sense that ARTnews’s Top 200 Collectors had slowed down themselves. In our annual questionnaire asking about recent purchases that doesn’t seem to be the case. The Top 200 are still acquiring but their priorities have begun to shift, being more selective when it comes to blue-chip names and supporting gallery programs they believe in.
The artists included in this cohort range from art historical ones like Sturtevant, Emily Kam Kngwarray, Leonora Carrington, Edgar Degas, Gustave Courbet, and M.F. Husain to closely watched contemporary artists like Nairy Baghramian, Carolyn Lazard, Simone Leigh, Salman Toor, Carolina Caycedo, Diego Singh, Jacqueline Humphries, and Rashid Johnson, who is a new addition to the list this year.
Below, a look at what our Top 200 Collectors recently purchased.
