ARTnews has added 20 new collectors to its prestigious Top 200 Collectors list for 2025, reflecting the expanding global reach of serious art collecting. The new cohort includes figures from Latin America, the Gulf region, Southeast Asia, and the United States, such as Catherine Petitgas, Ariel Marcelo Aisiks, Sara Alireza, Faisal Tamer, Basma Al Sulaiman, Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al Thani, Purat “Chang” Osathanugrah, Belinda Tanoto, Andreas Teoh, artist Rashid Johnson, Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation president Wendy Fisher, Napster cofounder Sean Parker, Fanatics founder Michael Rubin, and Oscar L. Tang and Agnes Hus-Tang, who donated $125 million to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Several new additions are second-generation collectors, and many have built private spaces to show their collections, such as Alexander Petalas’s Perimeter in London, Osathanugrah’s upcoming Dib Bangkok, and Basma Al Sulaiman’s virtual museum BASMOCA.
The expansion of the list matters because it signals the continued globalization and diversification of the art market, with collectors emerging from regions like the Gulf and Southeast Asia that were historically underrepresented. The inclusion of artist Rashid Johnson and the shift to family listings—such as the Schwab Family and Walton Family—reflects evolving definitions of collecting and the growing role of multi-generational wealth and institutional philanthropy in shaping the art world. These additions also highlight how collectors are increasingly creating their own exhibition spaces, influencing public access to contemporary art beyond traditional museums.
