Jho Low sells part of art collection at a loss

Art collector: Low says he provides informal consulting to 1MDB, doesn’t break any laws and isn’t being investigated.

MALAYSIAN financier Low Taek Jho has attracted attention for his flashy lifestyle and real estate deals, as well as his political connections and the Government’s troubled investment fund.

Now Low is once again creating buzz in the art world. Since Feb 3, he has sold works by Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Jean-Michel Basquiat, according to three people familiar with the matter.
