While much has been said—and written—about the state of the art market, that hasn’t affected the purchasing decisions of the ARTnews Top 200 Collectors who have continued to acquire a variety of works for their vast holdings. Reflecting on purchases made over the past 12 months, the Top 200 have given insight into what they bought and what drew them to those works. The artists included in this cohort range from art historical ones like Pablo Picasso, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Colescott, Robert Rauschenberg, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, and Girolamo Santacroce to closely watched contemporary artists like Theaster Gates, Tschabalala Self, Woody De Othello, Joey Terrill, Danielle Mckinney, Emma Webster, Jesse Darling, and more.
Below, a look at what our Top 200 Collectors recently purchased.
