About Me

Philip Niarchos, the oldest son of the late shipping magnate Stavros Niarchos, inherited much of his father's art collection. The collection was purchased in 1957 for $3 million from actor Edward G. Robinson and includes some of the world's most recognizable pieces. It is said to be the largest private collection of Van Gogh's work, notably his ear-less self portrait, and includes Picasso's iconic "Yo, Picasso." Since inheriting the collection, Philip has added post-war and contemporary works, including pieces by Andy Warhol and Maurizio Cattelan.
