A link to an article in thisislondon discussing the art world's cash and how it is spent.
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/arts/article-23485286-details/Canterbury+Cathedral+is+falling+down/article.do
".....I can think of no finer object for their charitable impulses than Canterbury Cathedral. It is not yet quite as broken down as London Bridge, not yet the subject of a nursery rhyme, but the roof is leaking, the masonry crumbling and, to put it in the human terms of an old man with a prostate problem and an arthritic spine, it needs more than a strategic bucket and a zimmer frame to keep it going. “Build it up with silver and gold, silver and gold ...” goes the ancient rhyme — and that is indeed the answer, as much silver and gold as was paid for the Bacon this past February or for the Monet, Matisse, Miro and Richter."
