Most Collected Artists of 2026 Thus Far

As we reach the halfway point of the year, our curators are shining a spotlight on the artists collectors have been gravitating towards in 2026. Defined by bold perspectives and unmistakable visual languages, this year's standouts include favourites such as Henry Ward, Nancy Collantine, Leila Lallali and many more.

Laurel Bouye, Head of Artist & Gallery Relations, shares her thoughts on one of this season's most celebrated names: "Barbara Kuebel's work has resonated profoundly with collectors this season. Though moving seamlessly between painting and woodcut prints, she remains authentic to the rugged vulnerability of her signature bold monotones."

Alongside these collector favourites, our curators have been tracking the newest arrivals on the platform, from emerging voices to artists charting unexpected new directions in their practice.
