If you’ve been keeping an eye on the contemporary art market, you’ve probably heard of blue-chip artists—those museum-collected, auction-dominating, historically significant figures like David Hockney, Tracey Emin, Yayoi Kusama or Jean-Michel Basquiat. But let me introduce you to a term that’s rapidly reshaping how we think about art today: Red-Chip.

Unlike their blue-chip counterparts, red-chip artists are market-driven and culturally omnipresent. Their work thrives on immediacy, pop culture references, and a bold, graphic aesthetic. Think super-flat cartoons, graffiti-infused compositions, or high-gloss, multi-coloured surfaces. Their influence isn't confined to galleries and museums but spills over into fashion, NFTs, and street culture, making them a fascinating new category of contemporary artists to watch.

Browse your curated selection of available editions from notable red-chip artists: KAWS, Takashi Murakami, Damien Hirst, Katherine Bernhardt and more.
