"I admire Sheikh Saud's passion, but I'm very much aware of the potentially destabilising force when a collector arrives on the art market with seemingly unlimited resources," says Philippe Garner. "It can lead to unrealistic expectations on the part of vendors."

This quote sums up my feelings toward him, and his new interest in my collecting field.
