If *I* was Silvio Berlusconi I wouldn't bother buying paintings on late night TV shopping channels.

I'd simply set up a university scholarship scheme for impecunious art students, with the small print giving me right of first refusal (at a fair market price) on their exhibition work.

Keep buying their best work and sooner or later I'll own the equivalent of a gallery full of stuff by Anish Kapoor, Damien Hirst, Banksy, Tracy Emin, and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
