Our premium editions carry the reporting The Canvas is known for: the anonymous money behind the market's biggest transactions, named. The Canvas identified Hasso Plattner as the buyer of Monet's $110.7 million "Meules" at Sotheby's, revealed Ken Griffin's roughly $120 million Magritte acquisition, detailed Christie's $195 million private sale of a Rothko from the Rybolovlev collection, and has traced the buyers, guarantors, and financing behind major works by Basquiat, Rauschenberg, Warhol, and others — reporting picked up by The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, and The New York Times.

Premium subscribers also receive our long-form interviews with the people who actually run this market. Past subjects include auction-house leadership (Guillaume Cerutti, Charles F. Stewart, Edward Dolman, Amy Cappellazzo, Cheyenne Westphal, Alex Rotter, Marc Porter, Brooke Lampley), gallerists (Marc Glimcher, Barbara Gladstone, Jeffrey Deitch, Thaddaeus Ropac, Marianne Boesky, Dominique Lévy, the Acquavella family), collectors (Norman Braman, Martin Z. Margulies, Jorge Pérez, Komal Shah, Peter Morton, David Nahmad), and artists (John Currin, Mickalene Thomas, Jonas Wood, Robert Longo) — more than a hundred in all.

The Canvas is read across the very institutions it covers — at Christie's, Sotheby's, Phillips, Pace, Gagosian, David Zwirner, Hauser & Wirth, and the advisories and collections in between. It's what collectors read.
