Meet this year's class of Young Collectors, each of whom is forging their own path through the art world.

Being a true collector involves a lot more than just buying art. Sometimes, it requires advocating for artists inside bureaucratic institutions, match-making between creators and museums, and even selling yourself to a protective art dealer in order to convince them you will be a fitting custodian of a great work.

These five young collectors share a commitment to going above and beyond for the chance to live with art they love.
