Art for alternative asset's sake
FORGET any romantic notion of artists happily starving in a draughty garret as they pursue their vocation. The latest generation are proving hard-headed about the commercial side of their business.

Consider this missive from "Scotland's newest young fine art star" Frank To.

Fine artist To said: "With many investors reluctant to put their hard-earned savings into banks or stocks and shares at present, fine art offers an attractive alternative asset."

Not much there about the insights gleaned into the human soul, or the skills of his craft.

To will be exhibiting his work at the Albemarle Gallery in London during March.
