“Increasingly, many of the best works are in the hands of private collectors, who do not always make their treasures accessible to the public. The New Statesman has tracked down some of the most important artworks nestling in the private residences and offices of collectors, aristocrats and City businesses, where only the most privileged can see them. This trend is on the rise; with public galleries increasingly priced out of the art market, more and more work will disappear from public view.”
