London, May 16 (IANS) Footballer David Beckham and his wife Victoria have an art collection worth almost $44 million and are now planning to put it on public display.
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, mirror.co.uk reported.
The works are currently gracing the Beckhams’ homes in London, Milan and Los Angeles and could now go on public display.
“Victoria is a mover and shaker in more upmarket circles nowadays and likes being a collector. She is even in talks with a museum to showcase some of their pieces - all of which are love tokens, presents David or Victoria gave to each other for birthdays, Christmas and special anniversaries,” said a source.
