His extensive art collection--which included works by Rouault, Degas, Manet and Picasso--was sold off when the insurance became prohibititive, and replaced with a Japanese silk-screen painting and a Chinese mirror painting. The big Steinway commands the living room, when it is not on the road with him. Near by on the wall are four autographed photographs: Paderewski, Rachmaninoff, Puccini...
