NIGEL HUMPHRIES Do you own any work by other artists? I have quite a varied range of art hanging in my home. I have a painting by the Scottish painter Stephen Mangan, a print of a greyhound lounging on the sofa by Stephen Hanson and a couple of Simon Bull etchings. What artwork would you like to own? If I had to choose just one painting I would like to own, it would be an original comic book illustration by either Jack Kirby, John Buscema or John Romita. These are masters in their field and are great inspiration to me. Who is your favourite WG artist? I admire many of the artists signed to Washington Green, from Hamish Blakely to Nigel Mason. If I had to choose, I would love to own a piece by Craig Davison.

Do you own any work by other artists? I have owned one of Andy Warhol’s Diamond Dust Shoes. I sold it for a few thousand bucks in 1984 and now it’s worth a few hundred thousand dollars! I have amassed 10 Sir Peter Blakes. They’re extra special because they have been co-signed by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. They‘re currently in a vault which I have been ordered to stay away from by my family! I’ve also owned pieces by George Braque (I paid $40 for it in a garage sale!), Peter Max and a couple of photos of Jean-Michel Basquiat by Mark Sink.
