Cultured magazine celebrates the tenth anniversary of its Young Artists list by reuniting 27 artists from past editions for a photoshoot at MoMA PS1, photographed by Dana Scruggs. The article reflects on the 247 artists featured since 2016, noting their diverse backgrounds—from MFA graduates to autodidacts—and includes candid responses from artists about challenges like financial survival, creative evolution, and absurd collector questions.
Real estate investor Carl Gambino, who splits his time between New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, discusses his art collection and approach to collecting in an interview with Cultured. Gambino, who once considered flipping art but resolved to buy for keeps, shares his early mistake of buying under social pressure at a dinner in France, a decision that left him feeling sick. He credits Kim Hastreiter of Paper magazine and Marsea Goldberg of New Image Art for teaching him to buy only what he loves. His collection features emerging painters such as Alejandro Piñeiro Bello, Cynthia Talmadge, Tianyue Zhong, and Dennis Miranda Zamorano, and he supports exhibitions including a showing of LaKela Brown at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit.
