ARTnews Top 200 Collectors 2026 Includes Four Italian Names

The 2026 edition of ARTnews's annual Top 200 Collectors list features four Italian figures, each with distinct histories, approaches and areas of interest but sharing a significant presence on the international art scene. Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli appear as one of the most influential partnerships linking business, culture and artistic research. In Turin, Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo is recognized for sustained support of contemporary artists and for the work of the foundation bearing her name, with particular attention to emerging generations and international research. Augusto Perfetti, an Italian entrepreneur residing in Switzerland, completes the group; his inclusion underscores the increasingly transnational character of collecting and suggests that national borders often matter less than the international networks through which collections are built and cultural projects supported. The US magazine publishes the ranking yearly as a selection of the most important art collectors worldwide, offering a view of dynamics running through the market and the contemporary art system by highlighting figures able to influence acquisitions, cultural institutions and new trajectories in collecting.
