Kanye is a student of art. He's an art-school-dropout type of kid that will talk about art till the cows come home.
I buy a lot of art. I buy Andy Warhols.
I especially like to collect contemporary art.
The first piece I ever collected was a Roy Lichtenstein: a sculpture called 'Surrealist Head II'. There was a waiting list. I remember Steve Martin wanted one, and I wanted one. I got the 'Surrealist Head', and I was thrilled.
I've got tonnes of aboriginal and Native American art, but I'd like even more.
I love art; I collect mostly modern art.
My mum is a big collector of art.
I collect art like other people eat pizza. I can't get enough of it. I need a constant source of inspiration.

I collect a lot of art.
It wasn't that I amassed it with aims of selling it and becoming a rich man. My personality demanded that I be surrounded by the best examples of the world's art.
I am more a friend of art than a producer of painting.
I buy some art but I don't like to talk about it.
It makes me happy to think that this world of art-as-investment is a minuscule fraction of the art world overall. Most people who create, trade and own art do it for a much simpler reason. They just like it.
The Art Snob can be recognized in the home by the quick look he gives the pictures on your walls, quick but penetrating, as though he were undressing them. This is followed either by complete and pained silence or a comment such as 'That's really a very pleasant little water color you have there.
No doubt any connoisseur, any collector, some bored old millionaire when he shows off his treasures, is seeking in your praise the resurrection and the life.
I have a lot of lion jewellery and lion art. I also love crystals.
I go to museums. I buy art, even. You should see my house; we don't have any wall space left.
I'm saving up to buy art. Nothing famous, but every time I'm in a new city I wander into galleries and dream about buying great pieces one day.
