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.

Pantone just announced their Colour of the Year 2026: Cloud Dancer. A "billowy white imbued with a feeling of serenity," Cloud Dancer has been chosen to signify our desire for a fresh start. Similar to that of a blank canvas, this soothing, milky tone brings to mind quiet, peace, and serenity. Enjoy a selection of white works matching the Cloud Dancer tone and aesthetic.

Rise Art x Minor Attractions

Rise Art has joined forces with London’s bold new art fair, Minor Attractions, to present a curated online showcase of standout works from their exhibitors. This collection features all of the works included in the curator highlight launches. Minor Attractions Founded in 2023 as a ‘non-fair’ challenging the overtly transactional nature of traditional art fairs, Minor Attractions brings together a broader cultural programme alongside gallery presentations. Since its inception, it has grown into a global meeting point that brings art together with music, cinema, publishing, and performance. This year, over 70 international galleries will descend on The Mandrake hotel for the fair, with Rise Art joining as the exclusive online partner. Here, you’ll find a curated selection of artworks from the event, all available for sale and handpicked by a select group of London tastemakers.
