Which artists do collectors really like?

Which artists do the collectors registered at Independent Collectors favour? An interesting question we have speculated about quite extensively.

How many collectors have uploaded how many works by an artist? How many collectors listed the artist as one of their “favourite artists”? We had a close look, and now we know! The result is as varied as the member base with over 2.500 collectors from 78 nations.

Very present in the list of “favourite artists” is the Danish artist Olafur Eliasson, closely followed by the controversial yet entertaining Jonathan Meese. Photo artist Wolfgang Tillmans and the British artist Jonathan Monk are also quite “highly ranked”. While these four are already from the cadre of well-known artists, none of the inevitable superstars of the global art scene can seem to match their popularity among our members. The names of Damien Hirst and his Japanese colleague Takashi Murakami have been entered often enough to secure them a mention, of course.

For a broader overview of artists that are popular among our members and to see which works by these artists have been uploaded to Independent Collectors, read the complete entry in our discussion forum.
