Conscientious Collectors

A freewheeling, on-the-record roundtable with some of the world’s most prominent art collectors—Glenn Fuhrman, Michael Ovitz, J. Tomilson Hill, and Dasha Zhukova—discussing their formative experiences with art, what drives serious collecting today, and how to get the next generation of potential collectors to look at art somewhere other than their phones.

At The Art of Influence, we gathered a group of extraordinary collectors for an exclusive discussion about the role that collecting plays in their lives, their concerns as museum trustees and board members, and how they see their art collections continuing—or not—after they pass from the scene.

For all of the attention the art world gets, it can be easy to lose sight of just how small the community is that actually drives it. There are relatively few active collectors at any given time—and, for many reasons, they usually seek anonymity. So it’s rare to hear directly from them about their goals, preoccupations, or even why they started collecting in the first place (you’d be surprised what one art history class can do).
