My wife has bought things over the years. The ones I like are Magritte, Mattise and a Henry Moore. The latter was allegedly a birthday present for me one year, a bit like buying a bit of hifi and saying you bought it for the wife as she also likes music. The first I knew about the Kadishman was when I picked her up from the airport. Her parents were collectors, we just buy a few things we like as it's better than blank walls. The overflow ends up in my office. I've avoided art collecting for investment purposes, although years ago a friend who was/is a leading dealer tried to get me involved, and it would have made me lots of money. I'd rather go to galleries and enjoy exhibitions. Last week we were up at Henry Moore's studios in Perry Green for an excellent exhibtion of his early works and influences and the American Art exhibition at the British Museum, which is incredible. This Saturday we are going to an exhibition at the Ashmolean in Oxford (Picasso/Degas) as well as a concert and lecture (Oxford May Music: Vivaldi, Brian Cox). When the wife books a restaurant, it will be looking like a perfect day. Better than sitting at home listening to music.
