==The ''ARTnews'' Top 200 Collectors==
The ''ARTnews'' Top 200 list is released annually and contains the top individual art collectors from around the world based on interviews with collectors, curators, dealers, auction houses, and museums. Those on the list are also surveyed, and their responses are used to inform trends and provide data, such as a breakdown of where the most top art collectors live (the United States).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/07/11/where-do-the-worlds-top-art-collectors-live/|title=Where do the world's top art collectors live|website=Foreign Policy|date=July 11, 2013 |access-date=September 29, 2018}}</ref>
Collectors on the list are profiled with a brief biography focused on the type of art that they collect (contemporary, post war, modern, etc.) and includes their city or cities of residence, a photo, their source of wealth and the years they have been on the Top 200 list, as many collectors are on it for multiple years. The list released in September 2018 includes [[Leonard Lauder]], Edythe and [[Eli Broad]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.artnews.com/top200/edythe-l-and-eli-broad/|title=ARTNews Top 200: Edythe and Eli Broad|website=Art News|date=September 10, 2017|access-date=September 29, 2018}}</ref> Rebecca and Warren Eisenberg, Alison and Peter Klein, Marsha and [[Jeffrey E.
