Nacho Polo and Robert Onuska, co-founders of the design gallery Studiotwentyseven, discuss their art collection in an interview with The Art Newspaper. Housed in their Tribeca apartment, the collection spans painting, sculpture, and photography with an emphasis on materiality and sculptural form. They recount their first acquisition—Ron Gorchov's *Autolykos* (2019)—and their most recent purchase, Alex Katz's *Nine Women 5* (2009). The couple also shares their instinctive buying process, a regret over missing a Nick Cave sculpture, and their anticipation for the Jean and Terry de Gunzburg collection at Sotheby's this spring.
The interview offers insight into the mindset of contemporary collectors who operate both as gallerists and private collectors, highlighting the interplay between instinct and market speed. Their reflections on works by artists like Yoshitomo Nara, Rashid Johnson, and Erwin Wurm, along with loans to institutions such as the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum and Macro Rome, underscore the growing crossover between commercial galleries and museum exhibitions. This piece matters because it reveals how personal taste, professional expertise, and market dynamics converge in today's art world.
