Six prominent Nigerian art collectors are exhibiting selections from their private collections at the Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art (YSMA) in Lagos. The exhibition, titled 'Collecting Now 2', showcases contemporary African art and highlights the personal tastes and motivations of these influential individuals.
This event matters because it provides public access to significant private collections, offering insights into current trends in African art acquisition and patronage. It underscores the growing importance of private collectors in shaping the Nigerian art scene, supporting living artists, and contributing to the institutional landscape through museum collaborations.
