MK bought an Art Gallery
« on: November 13, 2012, 12:23:25 PM »
A friend of mine living in London told me that he heard that MK bought an art gallery and, before I say anything here, I searched the net looking for information about it, and here there it is:

Looks like MK bought the Gagosian Gallery, around King Cross, in London.

Now he owns a recording studio, an art gallery and, what else?
So Long

Some reviews and an interior picture:

"Sure Kings Cross is stinky but it's not a bad location. In fact it's relatively brave given that it's not a standard location for a gallery." :lol

Love it. Better than investing all that dough in shares.  :thumbsup

I guess Colin Davidson's Portrait of MK is there.

Since there are quite a few Gargosian galleries around, I suspect that MK has bought the building in which this particular gallery is situated rather than the gallery itself.


6-24 Brittania Street WC1X 9JD.   You can google-map it.

"Spent 6.3 out of his 65 millions GBP..." Thant is a lot of money to spend (invest, sorry) on a gallery. And what's more, it is nearly 1/10 of his fortune. Hmmmmmm.

I hate it when they include art and investment in the same sentence. Art stock market thing.
On the other hand I have some sure investments, I mean photos, for sale.
Come on, it is not funny anymore.

It has to be the building, and maybe the gallery is not the only business in that building.   
But a spoonful of forgiveness
Goes a long, long way
And we all should do our best
To get along
