Famous Collectors: John Mc Enroe's Art Collection
Welcome to Rare Antiques Collectibles and Memorabilia blog.
John Mc Enroe 80's original super brat tennis champion, guitar player and guitar collector, currently a tv sports commentator is also an art collector.
He likes Picasso, Matisse and Tintoretto but he leans toward 20th century artists. His taste in art is modern, expressive and figurative.
Mc Enroe made attempts at art dealing. He even apprenticed at an Upper East Side gallery to learn the ropes of the business. He soon decided to turn his efforts into building his own collection instead.
In his collection ( to name a few) are Andy Warhol's Electric Chair in several prints, Jean Michel Basquiat's Pegasus and wall-lengtht piece by Kara Walker.

Famous Collectors: Take A Peek At John Mc Enroe’s Guitar Collection
John Mc
Enroe, the seven time Grand Slam singles winner and for four years was the
number one ranked tennis player, is also a guitar player and guitar collector.
John Mc Enroe is known more as an athlete. His
foray into the music scene, singing and playing guitar together with his band
known as the Johnny Smyth Band led him to spend many years touring and
performing in several clubs around the world.
He picked up
the guitar as a way to kill downtime during his tennis pro days. His first guitar
was an off-the-rack black Les Paul custom. He had played alongside everyone
from Carlos Santana, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones.
His
involvement with music resulted in one of the most impressive guitar collection
an individual could own.

Investment
value is the main factor when it comes to buying and collecting guitars according
to John. He first and foremost wants to buy something he would want to play.
