buying a painting that matches your lounge suite. While some investable art may
be visually beautiful, like a Claude Monet hanging over a fireplace, more often
art is there to provoke a reaction, to question and challenge, and to put a
spotlight on the darker side of society.

Edvard Munch’s The Scream, which recently sold for $120m
(R955m), is not exactly a painting for the bedroom wall, but it is possible to
blend aesthetics with investment.

Art is not an investment in the true sense of the word. It
does not generate dividends or interest and, in fact, costs you money to

The common refrain much of this season was that the Washington Capitals were too talented to play so inconsistently. Too talented to be in danger of missing the playoffs.
