“I got into art about 5 years ago or so. I got a couple [of Warhol’s]. I have one of the Rorschach over my fireplace in my living room,” Jay-Z revealed to Howard Stern. “It’s all about art. I try to buy things that resonate with me. I have everything from Andy Warhol to Tim Noble to Sue Simmons, who are new. I have an Ed Ruscha, David Hammons, whether it makes a ton of money for me or not.”
