LARRY'S LIST - Art Collector Interviews and Art Collector Email Address

In our more-than-150-collector strong list, we make a global cross-analysis of art collectors under the age of 40 and introduce their personas, collections and social media channels. The report also explores the motivations behind their foundations, private museums and art spaces. A number of the collectors portraited are appearing for the first time in the public spotlight. In-depth interviews have been conducted with collectors Oleg Guerrand, Yohana Irawan, Huma Kabakci and Victoria Rogers.

Selected Key Findings

In line with previous observations on the overall collector scene, New York, London, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong are major art hubs for next generation collectors.

We witnessed a strong force of young collectors from Asia, particularly China, Korea and Indonesia.

We did not identify any young collectors who exclusively focus on digital art or multimedia; painting and sculptures are still the preferred media to collect.

The next generation of collectors is much faster to make their preferences, interests and ultimately their collections accessible to a wider public, often through digital sharing but also through opening spaces or museums, particularly in Asia.

A significant number of these collectors use their power in the art scene to promote local emerging artists and to push for greater inclusion and representation within the industry.
