Oliver Stone: Not an Art Collector

December 2, 2008 by Marion Maneker

‘That’s too much work,’ the director says.

Watch this quick interview with Oliver Stone in Hong Kong before the sale of his five paintings of Contemporary Chinese art. In it, Stone mentions that there’s real demand from the Chinese for the paintings, so he’s passing them along (at a profit.) He also talks about his interest in painting and the importance of these paintings in China’s cultural history.

The interviewer is someone named Thomas Crampton who is lives in Hong Kong and has a blog here.
