The collection of Madonna has several works of Armenian avant-garde expressionism and 60-80 years., The Internet was not able to find information about this, but very well acquainted with the person, who several years working side by side with the pop queen, was impressed with her collection of paintings , great taste and good feeling for the collector!
How she manages to keep up everywhere? :)

What are they doing? Understand the question correctly. :)

 :) worked together on her world tour

As for the Armenian avant-garde expressionism and 60-80 years. can not say anything, but:

Even if we add to this list of some Arshile Gorky (who was bought, no doubt, not because of his Armenian roots, along with other American expressionists - but if five million "Bust of a woman with bangs" - one of the most expensive works of her "meeting", then one must assume that its collection is absent on the Pollock and Rothko), how can I say about the taste, the more "perfect"? It's just names on the mind, with the mind is in the last 10-15 years, not more.
In this list there is nothing personal:

Hollywood kitchuha Tamara Lempicka, not so long ago forged "a great artist, Frida Callo, the champion of" investment aspect "Picasso and Hirst, with whom she was in this very aspect of a little missed - all this is typical of the" new collectors, collectors are in the usual sense and not.

Arshile Gorky and Tamara Lempicka, Fernand Leger and Demien Hurst - that actually collects this woman, what is the general idea of this collection? Maybe someone can explain to me? :)

No there is no "collection".
We bought a house for intrera. What to buy something? Popular names, that at the hearing.
Popular singer-painting popular authors.

What can the general idea of collecting "names" (and I think that not so inept and hopeless as they are revoked) resonate with her name :) "Only in the fine arts, and she's in show business.
As for Hearst, she is hardly missed, in any case it is a gift :D
Believe me, we know at least that there is a celebrity in private collections, and Picasso for $ 5 million is not the most expensive lot in her collection .<!--~ 10 "->
"New collectors," "usual sense" - I think that these are relative terms, and where a variable, especially when they are taken for the powerful of this world, trendsetter, etc, etc.
As for Gorka not know whether it works with her, I wrote about the artists 60-80 years. XX century (not such well-known as A. Hills). This is me and liked that, along with the first names on the wall of her apartment you can see and work just good talent, and yet not so expensive artists ..

Well, once a gift, then I will not worry for her :)

But really, her "collection" (honestly, I did not want to put quotation marks, his hand automatically reached for the button!) Are like her - Lempicka, Hurst and big $ sign in the form of the lady with the bangs: what are their own, such sleds.
