Roman Abramovich Big Art Spender


Roman Abramovich, a megabucks art collector.
Mukesh Ambani may be the world's richest man but it's Roman Abramovich who does the most spending.
And he was at it again last week busy at both Sotheby's and Christie's. The Art Newspaper reports that the Russian billionaire bought both Francis Bacon's Triptych, 1976, which sold at Sotheby's New York for $86.3 million and Lucian Freud's Benefits Supervisor Sleeping, 1995, which sold at Christie's for $33.6 million.
Why the interest in art from a man who is more famous for his real estate and his huge yachts? Apparently he's looking to furnish his London home.
