Celebrity Art Collectors - Buying "Brad Pitt" Style

The significance we place on the decisions made by celebrities from everything to the food they eat to their favourite artists is quite crazy.  From the perspective of an investor, a celebrity can turn a good investment into a super investment; from the perspective of a gallery, a celebrity can make or break an artist in the time it takes to stick a red dot on the wall.  Brad Pitt is one of the most famous and closely watched celebrity art collectors.  A regular at art fairs such as Art Basel and Some of his favourite artists are Banksy, Atelier Van Lieshout and Neo Rauch. In 2009 Pitt famously spent Brad spent a cool $1million for Neo Rauch’s 9-foot rainbow-coloured racetrack painting Etappe.

Pitt has now turned an eye for art into his own line of furniture.  Collaborating with US furniture designer Frank Pollaro, Pitt has developed a high-end collection inspired by both Art Nouveau and Art Deco.  Hopefully his eye for good art will ensure an aesthetically pleasing result for his furniture line.
