Who Collects Art, Mexicans or Americans?

The current issue of Art News magazine features the world’s top 200 art collectors.

So who collects art? Americans and Europeans (French, German, Spanish and Swiss) dominate the list. Only two collectors in Mexico made the list— the world’s newly-crowned richest man Carlos Slim, and Eugenio López Alonso, the founder of Colleción Jumex, one of the largest private modern art collections in the Americas.

So what do the two major Mexican collectors fancy? Slim prefers old masters, pre-Columbian and colonial Mexican art, and modern artists such as Rodin.  López Alonso collects contemporary art.

Um, "Rodín" (You mean, Rodin) is not a modern artist. He is a Romantic sculptor and certainly considered one of the "old masters"
