I read the following report in The West Australian only an hour before I sat
down to write this foreword:
“One of the international art world’s most intriguing mysteries ended last
night when Kerry Stokes outed himself as the mystery buyer of one of the
most expensive books ever sold.
The fate of the legendary Rothschild Prayerbook - sold at Christie’s in New
York eight months ago for $15.5 million - has baffled art collectors.
The 500-year-old book of prayers is the most expensive illuminated
manuscript in history and considered one of the most important books in
existence.
Its purchase by an anonymous bidder in a tense auction in New York in
January made international headlines.
While most believed the book had been snapped up by a European collector,
it was secretly bought by Mr Stokes and shipped to Perth.”
What a splendid example Kerry Stokes sets for other wealthy Australians!
He regards it as the most important piece in his private art collection and he
will share it with the Australian people by exhibiting it in various cultural
venues throughout Australia.
Former National Gallery of Victoria director Gerard Vaughan said the Prayer
Book was possibly the most important piece of art to come to Australia.
Let us hope that other well-heeled Australians follow Stokes’s example.
In another record, Action Comics #1 – the comic book that introduced the
world to Superman sold for US$3.2m on eBay.
It is the most expensive comic ever sold and surely
the most expensive item ever sold on eBay.
