Diane Abbott Mulls Mayoral Bid
The collection will be part of a project called Artists Rooms and will travel around the UK with an emphasis on exposing the young'uns to modern art. The donation will also be filling in gaps in the collections at the Tate and NGS with works by the under represented photographers Diane Arbus and Robert Mapplethorpe as well as Jeff Koons.
Other artists include Joseph Beuys, Anselm Kiefer, Gerhardt Richter, and a handful by Damien Hirst (sorry, no diamond skull). Where would the world be without madcap philanthropists?
