Ken Griffin Sends a Leonardo to the Met

· 1 min read

The hedge fund founder has placed a work by Leonardo da Vinci on loan with New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, opening his collection to the public in a city he has increasingly claimed as a base for major acquisitions. The gesture follows a year in which Griffin also secured a top-dollar Artemisia Gentileschi canvas, underscoring a collector building toward institutional-grade holdings in Old Masters.

With reporting from Artnet News.
