Hollywood Celebrities Who Are Crazy Hobby Collectors
John McEnroe – Affordable Art
Contrary to art collecting’s reputation, it’s possible to find quality pieces at an affordable cost. John McEnroe has dedicated his spare time to this precise hobby by seeking out pocket-friendly art. He has pieces from Tom Blackwell and Audrey Flack, which fall on the affordable spectrum.
During a 2008 interview, he explained that he hadn’t made enough on the tennis court to afford originals and settled for the next best thing. McEnroe became an art scam victim in the hands of Larry Salander back in 2004. He took a break from art investing, and in 2018, he sold off his 32-inch Helter Skelter piece by Mark Bradford for $12 million.
