MORE OF THESE PEOPLE, PLEASE…
David Walsh - multi-millionaire professional gambler and one of Australia’s leading art collectors - dismisses himself as "just a privileged guy with a megaphone". Some rich men seek a voice through the purchase of media organisations; others via political patronage. Walsh, a university drop-out whose genius grasp of mathematics allowed him to conjure a fortune from the world’s casinos and race-tracks, has chosen art as his form of self-expression. Or to be precise, Mona – the Museum of Old and New Art: a $175 million “subversive Disneyland” created by Walsh on the banks of Hobart’s Derwent River, not far from his boyhood home in the city’s battling northern suburbs.
