Kylie Jenner and her passion for Damien Hirst
Entrepreneur, influencer and model, Kylie Jenner (among the most famous of the Kardashian family) is also an art collector and a big fan of Damien Hirst. Alongside her cosmetics company, which is worth over 900 million dollars, her art collection boasts several artworks by artist Damien Hirst from the I Love You collection in which a butterfly, an iconic creature in the artist's work, is placed in the centre of a heart in different colours and shades.
Kylie's collection also includes works by great artists such as Andy Warhol and Tracey Emin.
The Ferragnez and the Street-Art works
The door to the Ferragnez home is always open on social media; numerous are the shots and videos that the couple share on Instagram to report on their lives, but have you ever looked at the paintings and artworks that lie within the Ferragnez home?
For those who don't know Italy's most social couple, Fedez is an Italian rapper with many hit songs that have played during the summers in the Italian boot, while Chiara Ferragni is an Italian entrepreneur, blogger, designer and model and one of the most followed and loved top influencers.
From artworks by TvBoy in which Chiara Ferragni herself and her son Leone are portrayed, to the magnificent KAWS art toys lying around the house. Among these are also artworks by Takashi Murakami, Bearbrick and the unmistakable Mr. Brainwash, whose Fedez is a huge fan of.
"I discovered him while watching the documentary he made with Banksy (Exit Through the Gift Shop, 2010). The feature film fascinated me because it actually tells the story of how the art market is unhinged: at a time when there is a growing demand for street art Mr. Brainwash finds a way to satisfy it." - Fedez
Not only does the rapper pay homage to the street artist by collecting his works of art, but he also named his third album Mr. Brainwash - L'arte di accontentare (The art of pleasing) after him.
BTS and KAWS-mania
Present on the market since 2008, KAWS achieved global success in 2014, creating a genuine KAWS-mania among art collectors.
Also, not indifferent to this market explosion were the well-known South Korean music group K-Pop BTS, and in particular the rapper RM who is considered one of the youngest art collectors in South Korea.
From live shares to Instagram stories, the singer has played a very influential role in the art world, so much so that he has attracted hundreds of visitors to exhibitions he has attended himself, increasing his fans' interest in contemporary art.
His collection is mainly kept in his studio and partly in his room. Through his V-LIVE, he gave his fans a short tour of his studio, presenting KAWS' various art toys. The singer then revealed that he is planning to open a small exhibition to display his entire private collection.
Leonardo DiCaprio and the artworks from the 80s
Leonardo DiCaprio is one of biggest Hollywood art collectors. Estimated at over $10 million, the actor's collection boasts artworks by artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Frank Stella and Andy Warhol.
In addition to these important artists from the 1980s, DiCaprio also owns works by contemporary artists such as Takashi Murakami and great artists from the past such as Pablo Picasso.
However, his collection never stops growing, in fact numerous are the appearances at auction houses such as Christie's and Sotheby's that allow him to enrich his personal and private museum.
Jack Nicholson and his Personal Art Gallery
Last but not least, and not because he has a less noteworthy collection than the previous ones, we find another Hollywood star: Jack Nicholson, a huge fan of contemporary art. His collection has a total value of over 100 million dollars and boasts artworks by Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol.
Nicholson's artworks are not as numerous as the total value of the collection seems to suggest; the actor has declared that he pays attention to the quality of the works he collects rather than quantity.
In order to pay homage and provide a worthy home for his works, the Hollywood star decided to have a personal art gallery where he could display his collection.
