Hungry for more report insights?. Listen to this art market commentator's thoughts on what he found interesting in the Vastari Reports on Collecting.

Discover the parts of the report that the authors find themselves thinking about again and again, plus hear how they feel the data has fared in light of the unprecedented events of 2020.

The data from Vastari’s Reports on Collecting indicates that collectors under 50 are much more investment-driven than their over 50 year old counterparts. Those who currently lend to museums are overwhelmingly in the over 50 category. While young investment-driven collectors stand out as being the most willing to donate and lend to museums, these collectors also frequently describe museums as unapproachable.

In the recent Vastari Reports on Collecting it was found that artists are a key connector for collectors and museums, primarily for collectors under 50 and those outside North America and Europe. And those collectors who indicated they had relationships with artists who connected them with museums were more likely to have lent a work in the past 2 years.
