A great deal of art collecting by the wealthy are people who discovered a particular artist while young, and they felt a great impact from that art, but only later in life were they able to spend the large sums needed to own some of it for themselves. Parts of David Bowie’s collection are an example of this, artists whose work he fell in love with in the 1960s as a young man still far from wealth.
