Plenty of people buy art. Fewer collect it. The latter pursuit is distinguished by the joy of the hunt, a commitment to supporting artists’ practices over time, and a willingness to live with something that might prompt confusion or even discomfort. Buyers stop when the walls are full. Collectors are never satisfied.
The 11 individuals on CULTURED’s eighth annual Young Collectors list embody exactly this kind of single-minded obsession. Some were raised by storied patrons; others found a passion for art on their own, often leaving their families perplexed. All share an interest in spreading the gospel, leaving the art world a little more curious than they found it.
