The monarch who unveiled a 588-page book titled ‘A King’s Passion: A 21st Century Patron of African Art’ at the Access Bank headquarters in Lagos, noted that he had been an arts collector for decades adding that the launch is a product of passion mixed with hard work and industry.

“Our arts, cultural heritage must be appreciated and valued because this is a reflection of our past, present and future.

Having been an arts collector and a lover of the arts for decades, this book, ‘A King”s Passion: A 21st Century Patron of African Art,’ is a product of forty years, passion, intellectual curiosity and intuition which has inspired me to collect more than 4000 artworks, of which over 300 are featured in the book,” says the Obi of Onitsha.
