Practically successful and wealthy, celebrities at a certain point in their lives begin to pay attention to art. Of course, the busy work schedule does not allow many of them the opportunity to seriously immerse themselves in the world of art, and even more so to create on their own. However, with the help of experts, some celebrities have managed to create rich collections, which we will tell you about in this material.
Studying the collections of the stars, at first glance we can notice their exceptional interest in contemporary art. Probably, this is related to the large art market of the 20th and 21st centuries, in contrast to the art of the 18th-19th and earlier centuries.
By the way, this is not the only way to explain the search for contemporary art. When a famous person is at the forefront of modern culture, meeting the requirements of the new world, the demand of those who reflect the changes taking place in the world here and now becomes consonant.
Practically a generation, Jack Nicholson and Barbra Streisand boast solid collections of 20th-century art.
Barbara appreciates the Art Deco period of the 30s of the last century and owns a large collection of furniture belonging to this period.
Jack Nicholson, for his part, mainly collects paintings. In his collection he has works by artists such as Paul Cézanne, Tamara de Lempicka and Pablo Picasso.
Impressive is the amount of Madonna’s collection. It has collected paintings by Fernand Léger, Pablo Picasso, Damien Hirst and others, and the unit price of a work can be estimated at tens, even hundreds of millions of dollars.
Another passionate star collector is Leonardo DiCaprio. Leo is mainly interested in works older than 100 years. DiCaprio not only collects art, he is a true patron. He communicates with contemporary artists and through his biases he has been able to assist many in their career development.
The list of stars who are fans of art is really large. Especially if we expand this list of decorative art objects.
Art lives forever, it existed long before us and will outlive us for many more years. Being involved in it makes a person’s life much more positive to the extent that it is embedded in us. Following the example of the stars, let’s think about the importance of art not only for the interior of our home, but also for its spiritual value. [:]
