As the world recovers from George Michael’s shock death on 25 December, it is not only his music he leaves behind, but also his legacy as a major collector of contemporary art.
Michael started collecting with then partner Kenny Goss in the late 1990s. Goss was a Texan art dealer, and their 13-year relationship ended in 2009.
