Anish Kapoor and Tony Cragg are just two of the artists to feature there. Which work would the Norwegian add to his park if he could choose any? “A fabulous bronze sculpture by Brancusi,” he told the Art Newspaper . On his approach to collecting, Sveaas told the paper, “What I have learned is to trust my instinct, soul and eyes, but not my ears. Identify one or two galleries and absorb what you learn from them.

It was 2011, and a set of 12 paintings by artist On Kawara was going on sale. Such a comprehensive sale was almost unheard of at the time. “If this set of 12 paintings were to go to a foreign collector,” a Japanese gallerist told Ishikawa, “it will never return to Japan.” As for the collector himself, he once told Larry’s List , “Something in me was stirred. And at that moment, I shifted from being a passive art viewer to an active collector.”","imageSrc":"https://www.artnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Ishikawa-1300x731-1.jpg","locations":["Japan","Okayama, Japan"],"locationLabel":"Japan; Okayama, Japan","sourceOfWealth":["Fashion"],"sourceOfWealthLabel":"Fashion","collectingAreas":["Contemporary art"],"collectingAreasLabel":"Contemporary art","nationality":"Japan"},{"slug":"yusaku-maezawa","name":"Yusaku Maezawa","sortName":"Yusaku Maezawa","topYears":[2016,2017,2018,2019,2020,2021],"profileUrl":"https://www.artnews.com/art-collectors/top-200-profiles/yusaku-maezawa/","summary":"It makes sense that retail mogul Yusaku Maezawa would be a big fan of Jean-Michel Basquiat. One one thing, they were both once rockers: Maezawa played in a punk band in Japan before moving to California to be close to his heroes in the Dead Kennedys and the Melvins, while Basquiat was in the band Gray, gigging regularly at the Mudd Club and other spots in downtown Manhattan. Their interests also stretched into fashion early in their lives: Maezawa is partly responsible for bringing the street style of Harajuku to high-end Japanese retailers, and Basquiat famously went from dressing like a workaday artist to splattering paint on his five-figure Armani and Comme des Garçons suits. Finally, they both dated famous women: Maezawa was for a period attached to the actress Saeko, and Basquiat shacked up with Madonna for a time at Larry Gagosian’s house in L.A.","imageSrc":"https://www.artnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Maezawa-1300x731-1.jpg","locations":["Chiba City, Japan","Japan"],"locationLabel":"Chiba City, Japan","sourceOfWealth":["Online retail"],"sourceOfWealthLabel":"Online retail","collectingAreas":["Asian art","Contemporary art","Design","Design and furniture","East Asian antiquities","International contemporary art","International modern art","Modern art"],"collectingAreasLabel":"Asian art; Contemporary art; Design; Design and furniture; East Asian antiquities; International contemporary art; International modern art; Modern art","nationality":"Japan"}]}
