The Art Lovers
A trilogy about the world of Art by ANDREW SACHS
2: Collecting for Pleasure and Profit
1935: a Van Gogh has recently been sold for E2,735 15s 9d. Since Monty Pepper's death, George Willman has looked after the Willman-Pepper collection of four Van Goghs , not to mention Renoirs, Monets,
Cezannes and Pissarros. Then Monty's daughter arrives from America to ask for the odd
Van Gogh to remind her of 'daddy' - the value being purely sentimental of course!

The last of seven programmes written by JOHN KEAY
'Had I Been a Wise Man.... '
Narrator John Rowe with Garard Green
At 43, Henry Savage Landor was ready to set off again on a further bout of exploration. His new stamping ground was to be the interior of South America.
Heedless of warnings that it was populated by 'millions and millions of ferocious cannibals', he left the town of Goiaz on 26 April 1911. His plan was to reach the Andes by way of the Mato Grosso and the tropical forests of the Amazon.
Producer ALAN HAYDOCK (R) Stereo (A book based on the series will be published this month by BBC
Publications in association with John Murray )
