I do not have even remotely enough money to enable me to bid for serious artworks. (Instead I must comfort myself by bearing in mind the wonderful work carried out by my own daughters.)

However, a portrait of Elizabeth Lederer by Gustav Klimt was sold by Sotheby's in New York yesterday for £180m. I had best be circumspect in case I am shown to be foolish by return of post but I rate this work to be as good as anything ever achieved by anybody. Just Google and look.
