Celebrity Art Collectors – From Kylie to Madonna
Having a celebrity purchase one of their artworks is a sure fire way for the value of an artist’s work to skyrocket so keeping an eye on what artist’s celebrities are purchasing works by is definitely worth while. Over the years I have received heaps of notifications and tips on purchases of art by celebrities so I thought that I would go through my archives and make a list of some of the celebrities and the artist’s whose work they have purchased.
