David Beckham Becomes Art Collector
May 22nd, 2007
Â
David Beckham has become an art collector.
The soccer superstar and Tom Cruises new BFF has developed a love for expensive art, and is now receiving advice on how to extend his collection from top-selling artist Sacha Jafri.
Sacha said: “He’s really getting into the art world. He’s taking it really seriously and he hopes to amass a valuable private collection.”
David, 32, became friends with 30-year-old Oxford University graduate Sacha after asking him to produce a painting for a charity auction in aid of his football academy.
The artist - whose work sells for up to £100,000 a piece and is appreciated by many wealthy collectors, including Microsoft tycoon Bill Gates - is now advising David on what creations to spend his cash on.
Maybe he can sell some of his David Beckham naked photo art.
