Hi  Joey

I  expected an  "instant"  reply from  you  -  but  not   SO  instant !  Cheesy

The  "rich  guy" I  referred  to  was  no gentlemen  collector  -  he  was  an  investor , purely that

I  do  know  another   art  collector   of  a  different  kind  (art   fabrics)  - his  collection  is  now   spread  over  several museums   world-wide.    Now  THAT's  a   collector I  do  respect !

As  for  nouveaux   riche  ?     Whatever  are  you  thinking ?  I  love  my  little   art  collection  for it's own sake  and    for  no other  reason.  Certainly  not to  show  off ! 



Cheers

Peter
