Femi Akinsanya - investment banker, broker, educationist and foremost art collector, is no art dilettante.
His passion for collecting transcends that plaything of the idle HNI hour, minute or even year - it began with his distinctive upbringing by a woke Yoruba grandmother ahead of her time, a public librarian.
We discuss selling a business you started from scratch, finding a buyer, succession planning, Mayflower School, Ikenne, Wole Soyinka and, of course, ART and REPATRIATION!
In this episode, we talk about
Femi as an investment banker
The origin of his love for art
His first art collection
Professor Tai Solarin and Mayflower School, Ikenne
Afrocentric Art collecting
His take on the return of stolen artworks
And, yeah, the joke bit. Did he or didn’t he share one? Listen to find out.
