Griselda Pollock is the first art historian to win the Holberg Prize, which recognises major contributions to the arts, humanities, law and social sciences. Founded by the Norwegian government in 2004, the award comes with a prize of 6m kroner (nearly £500,000). Pollock’s scholarship has largely focused on uncovering the history of women artists. She is a professor of art history at the University of Leeds.
Collecting art is a journey that balances emotion, intuition, and long-term vision. While the art world may sometimes feel overwhelming, approaching it with curiosity and intention can make the process deeply rewarding. Each artwork you choose is not just a purchase but a reflection of your values, curiosity, and relationship to creativity.
