Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen Bomemizsa has the finest private art collection in the world. He does not want it to be divided up among his heirs after his death. So a Thyssen Foundation will be formed to which he will
bequeath
all his paintings. He has been deluged with offers to house them. So far the Spanish have been winning. In April a preliminary agreement was signed under which the $ 1 billion collection will be housed on a ten-year lease in rent-free museum, the Villharmosa Palace, in Madrid. At the end of the ten years, the baron will decide whether to give Spain the collection.
The British government has now decided, late in the day, that it would not mind having the collection in Britain. The success of the recent exhibition of old-master paintings from the Thyssen collection at the Royal Academy prompted both the Prime Minister and the Prince of Wales to approach the baron and propose that the collection come to Britain. The government has now offered the baron $ 100m—the money would be in addition to this year’s annual arts budget of $ 147m—-plus whatever it would cost to find or build a new gallery for the pictures.
The baron is unlikely to accept, though he may keep everyone in the dark as long as he can. Like any rich man, he enjoys being courted by governments and royalty. On balance, he feels committed to Spain. Unless the British can provide surroundings at least as grand as the Villharmosa Palace—he does not relish the prospect of his paintings ending up in Birmingham—he will probably not change his mind.
