Art like Song Kun: original contemporary works to collect
Song Kun (1977) ranks #135 in the Artprice 2023 contemporary art market report — among the world's most sought-after living artists. An original Song Kun is out of reach for most collectors, but you can collect original contemporary works in a kindred spirit at L'Original.
The contemporary spirit
Today's most collected contemporary artists span styles and media, but they share one thing: a distinctive voice that the market has recognised. The good news for collectors is that the same spirit is alive in original works by living artists you can actually acquire.
Collecting contemporary art
When you collect by affinity rather than by name, you buy the work, not the autograph. Favour original pieces with a clear voice, ask about medium, size, year and provenance, and choose what you'll happily live with — that's how lasting collections are built.
Collect originals in this spirit at L'Original
You'll likely never own a Song Kun — but L'Original lets you collect original contemporary works by living artists who share that sensibility. Browse the collection, meet the artists we represent, and let PickArt match you with your favourite.
