Recently I wrote a post about the Queen's wealth (to view, click HERE) and mentioned the Royal Collection, the Queen's 200,000-plus art collection, which includes paintings, drawings, and prints by masters like Rembrandt and Michelangelo. Although the Queen owns the $16-billion collection, she cannot sell any pieces in it--she can only add pieces. And she recently did. Four fabulous Pop Art pieces by America's Andy Warhol. The brightly colored screen-prints bear her image, which Warhol based on a formal photograph of her wearing a tiara. (The purchase was made last week for an undisclosed sum.) This November at Windsor Castle an art exhibit "Portraits of a Monarch" will open for the public, and we can take a look at these and other famous images of the Queen.
