Why Superyachts Are Becoming Floating Galleries for Blue-Chip Artwork
The owners would rather have the works of Frank Stella, Roy Lichtenstein and dozens of other artists on their yachts than in their homes.
Superyachts are customized works of art. They’re also the ideal space in which to exhibit unique artwork, which is why a growing number of yacht owners are choosing to house their priceless collections on board.
Paintings, photographs and furniture choices reflect an owner’s personal identity. When on board a superyacht, the fully controlled temperature and humidity can provide ideal conditions for storing artwork, says Marcela de Kern Royer, founder of Onboard Group.
