Hollywood Is Teeming with Art Collectors

October 31, 2013 by Marion Maneker

Ed Ruscha and Owen Wilson

Want to know where all that art is going? The Hollywood Reporter says it is piling up in the film industry’s hometown:

Paramount chairman and CEO Brad Grey stepped up to join Brian Grazer, Michael Lynton and Bryan Lourd on the entertainment-heavy board of LACMA. […] Suddenly, everyone in town seems to have gone collecting mad. In an industry once dominated by a few powerful collectors (David Geffen, Michael Ovitz), there’s now a deeper and younger bench of players passionate about art, from agents (CAA’s Joel Lubin, UTA’s Pete Franciosa) and actors (Neil Patrick Harris) to execs (HBO’s Michael Lombardo) and managers (Brillstein Entertainment Partners’ JoAnne Colonna, Scooter Braun). “There’s a lot of people in the industry who have great taste who are being exposed to great art,” says producer and LACMA board member Steve Tisch. “I know a number of collectors who have gotten into collecting in the past five or 10 years, and their passion for building their collection is fantastic.”
