Larry’s List is the world’s leading guide on the international art collector scene. Larry’s List contains over 3,400 of the world’s most prominent and also less known art collectors, providing information on them that you will hardly find elsewhere. Consider us nerds. Art market research nerds if you like. All our data is manually researched using over 27’000 sources and is updated constantly. There are 20 nationalities in our team.
Art gallery owners, art dealers, auction houses, curators, art researchers, artists, collectors, art fairs, journalists – we are a database for art market professionals from all over the world. Imagine you are planning to exhibit at an art fair in Spain and want to know more about the local collectors there… Or you are a gallery owner looking to expand your client base for Japanese art internationally… Or you are a collector yourself and want to know who else shares your passion for Anselm Reyle, Terence Koh or Basquiat? There are multiple ways to use Larry’s List.
Larry’s List aggregates publicly available information from external sources. Our approach goes beyond using regular search engines. Google is not the only truth. We research content not visible through regular search engines. We consult local expertise and regional knowledge, trawling through local Chinese, Korean and Russian search engines. And internet research is only part of the game. Call us nerds if you like, but we do enjoy spending hours and hours in libraries, media centers and book stores from Hong Kong to Tel Aviv and New York to Berlin, reading “old-fashioned” magazines, academic books and local newspapers.
The Observer questioned in an article: “Larry’s List might be meant to conjure Larry Gagosian’s Rolodex. Craig founded Craigslist. If this was a computer company, and you called it Steve’s List….” Well, good idea. But no. We are a team of 25 art market researchers from 20 nations. While we were doing research we came up with the name. Call us research nerds – or simply call us Larry. But not Gagosian.
Most users find it helpful to search across the categories of 1) the country the collector is based in 2) the city the collector is based in 3) the artists featured in a collection 4) the genres featured in a collection 5) the mediums featured in a collection or 6) for a collector in particular.
It is possible that you applied too many search criteria at once. Try reducing the number of search criteria used to receive more search results.
The most likely reason is that the collector is not ranked among the most important collectors in his or her country. You will be surprised to see how many previously widely unknown collectors are in the database. Another reason might be that there is simply no publicly available information about the particular collector and his collection. This means that there was no relevant information in any of our sources – or we didn’t find it (if so, please let us know). Therefore, even if a collection would qualify because of its importance, we cannot list it if there is no public information available about it.
A profile includes information on the collector, his or her collection and his or her art engagement. A sample profile can be found here.

We have worked our way through more than 27’000 sources – and are still carrying on with our research. Our team consists of 20 nationalities who work hard to compile the profiles using publicly available information. This means that we cannot always guarantee that each profile is 100% complete, but we are constantly updating all profiles.
We only list art collectors who we have identified to be among most important art collectors in their country. If you feel you should be listed, please contact us.
From our research, we have concluded that you are one of the world’s leading private art collectors and have decided to list you in our database. If you wish to update your profile, then please contact us
