Description
There is a perception that the UK 'has no serious collectors'. As Martin Bailey explains in this examination of British private collecting, that is partly because they are exceptionally discreet, As a result, it is often forgotten how much they contribute to the public realm of the arts, despite government reluctance to encourage a 'culture of philanthropy' on the American model. If Britain's great private collectors have one thing in common in addition to their love of art, it is their preference for discretion. Their reasons range from modesty to understandable security concerns. Although there may he a Degas ill the dining room, owners usually keep rather quiet about it. Most major collectors are reluctant to reveal too much, so the names we tend to hear about represent only a small fraction of serious collectors active in Britain today.
