  "account": "A recent survey conducted by Arts Economics in collaboration with UBS reveals that wealthy Gen Z art collectors are outspending their older counterparts, including baby boomers and millennials. The average fine-art spending among Gen Z in the first half of 2026 was $328,880, compared to $155,530 for baby boomers, $122,410 for millennials, and $72,430 for Gen X. However, these young collectors are notably private about their collections, with 39% limiting in-person viewing to their household or close family and friends. Gen Z's wealth at a young age is unprecedented, with the generation spending more on a range of luxury items, including paintings, jewelry, handbags, and whisky. Despite being the wealthiest and most engaged generation of collectors, they are also the least likely to share details of their collections publicly, preferring invitation-only spaces and privacy as central to their personal and cultural identity.",
  "summary": "Gen Z is on track to be the \"largest, wealthiest, and highest-spending generation to date,\" according to Art Basel and UBS.",
