Charles Guyot

A regular presence on the international art fair and gallery circuit, French entrepreneur Charles Guyot began collecting contemporary art a decade ago. His first two purchases were a lithograph by Takashi Murakami and a small piece by Matthew Barney. In 2005, he and his sister Victoire launched the Contemporary Art Club (CAC), an association of young collectors of contemporary art that now boasts more than 300 members. Guyot is also a prominent supporter of French cultural institutions such as L’Ecole des Beaux-Arts and La Maison Rouge.
