Pick up art


This months Art Newspaper reveals that the site that ex Govenor Eliot Spitzer checked out for online profiles of $1000 an hour prostitutes, also offers art to its high rolling (sorry) clients. International escort agency Emperor’s Club VIP has a, wait for it, “private art acquisition venue.” Emperors go on to add “We act for a select group of educated, refined, successful, international clients who give their best in all they do and who in return only wish to receive the best.” remembering that “The greatest gain is how a beautiful painting always evokes a sense of miraculous reward in your parlour.” But don’t forget that, although “much fine museum quality contemporary art becomes more precious with time, yet, the best advice is always the same: make visual pleasure and quality the benchmarks of your buying so you are certain to derive a deep satisfaction from the piece.” Unfortunately you can no longer play Governor for the day, as the Emperors Club VIP escort site has been taken down, however, you can still visit their art site here.
