The Beckhams Look Toward a Museum Show

May 17, 2010 by Marion Maneker

David and Victoria Beckham would like to be known for their art collection which is housed in their London, Milan and Los Angeles homes. Rumored to be valued in the region of £30m, London’s Mirror claims Victoria is negotiating to have parts of the collection shown in a museum:

The entire collection, bought over eight years, is “love themed”. It includes paintings, portraits and sculptures by Damien Hirst, Sam Taylor Wood, Tracey Emin, Banksy, and Jake and Dinos Chapman.

“One of the works is a Hirst bull’s heart enshrined in silver with scalpels exploding from it. Another, given from David to Victoria for Christmas, is an Emin-designed strip of neon lights spelled out to read ‘Forever yours’.”
