Art Collector issue #116 (April–June 2026) is now available. This quarter we shine a light on the artists flying under the radar—our essential guide to the undiscovered talents and underrated practices that deserve a place in every serious collection. Plus, our Aotearoa Art Fair preview.
From her monumental self-portrait at the National Portrait Gallery to presentations at Tate Modern and Paris Photo, the South-Sudanese artist’s practice continues to assert new narratives of identity and belonging.
Sara Hughes has spent two decades transforming civic spaces. In her most recent show, she turns inward, mounting a generous inquiry into artistic inheritance and the women artists who continue to guide her vision.
When Shane Akeroyd launched a public digital platform showcasing moving-image art from his collection, he offered a new model for how private patronage can serve public access.
With her dynamic Laundry Gallery in Garramilla/Darwin, Nina Fitzgerald is reshaping how collectors discover and engage with First Nations art—bridging remote art centres with new audiences through a welcoming, contemporary space that’s earning international recognition.
