Michael Backman: Art History & Material Culture
Michael Backman in conversation with Burmese art collector Graham Honeybill
Graham Honeybill has been a banker most of his adult life, rising to become CEO of a bank in the UAE. He has also been a collector for much of his life. Colonial Burmese silver has long been a passion. A book has just been published on his collection and he has lent several pieces to an exhibition on Burmese art at the British Museum. Surely the pinnacle of any collector's collecting career? In this episode, Michael Backman talks with Graham about his collecting, and his motivations.
