Daniel Radcliffe (or Mr H. Potter as he's otherwise known) recently revealed his art collecting tastes to the press, telling Esquire that works by Warhol and Hirst grace his walls. "I recently bought a few portraits by Elizabeth Peyton. She did a portrait of Pete Doherty that I loved," he adds. But not even Radcliffe, one of the most famous faces on earth, can win over the surliest art dealers at one of the world's biggest fairs. "I went to Frieze Art Fair and saw a painting by Jim Hodges. The guy said,'No, we're waiting for a more prestigious collector to take that.' I was like, thanks, thanks a lot," says the miffed movie star in Time Out.
