The department of research, forecasting and statistics at the French Ministry of Culture and Communication has recently published a report written by Nathalie Moureau, head lecturer of economic sciences at Université Paul-Valery in Montpellier, and elected vice-president of Culture; Dominique Sagot-Duvauroux, economist and research lecturer at the Université d'Angers; and Marion Vidal, doctor in economic sciences at the Université de Montpellier and associate researcher at the laMeta (uMr 5474), the Université Paul-Valéry de Montpellier, entitled Collectionneurs d'art contemporain: des acteurs méconnus de la vie artistique. In this report about collectors of contemporary art, the three authors describe the profiles of different collectors, examining the different ways in which they are involved with the art scene and why, and analysing the typology of collectors, who range from semi-professionals to independent collectors.
