The Next Gen Collectors

The Next Gen Collectors are those young art collectors who redefine the scene as they develop their tastes and approaches to art. In this talk, members of this generation with a diverse set of backgrounds will discuss their ideas and motivations behind their passion and collections. In today’s art market, young collectors have established themselves as important players; their buying power has been crucial in helping the global art market survive the pandemic. Moreover, they take a much broader perspective on what it means to be an art collector through crossing boundaries and mixing different categories into their collections. For them, collaborations and crossovers are the norms. That said, perhaps the most defining feature of this generation is how they are moving between the physical and the digital. As such, a number of questions arise: Who are the collectors founding the next art collections, preserving and developing existing (family) collections? Who are the figures who will influence the art world over the next few years? What sets them apart from previous generations? To address these questions and gain a deeper insight, Christoph Noe of Larry’s List brings three young collectors – Lu Xun, Adriano Pagani, and Hugo Roosjen – into a conversation to learn all about their collector journeys and what we can expect from the young collector scene moving forward.
