Andy Murray’s wife Kim has admitted she has had to move items to Scotland due to the tennis legend’s surprise hobby
The 38-year-old who hung up his racket after last year’s Paris Olympics, is an avid art enthusiast and owns works by renowned artists such as Damien Hirst and Maggie Hambling.
Murray’s interest in art is believed to have been ignited when he sat for a portrait by Hambling during his playing career. However, his passion now seems to have gone a bit too far, with his extensive collection now spilling over into the couple’s five-star Scottish hotel, Cromlix.
Speaking to Homes and Interiors Scotland, Kim said: “Andy is constantly buying large-scale artwork and we are running out of space at home. So we end up bringing a lot of it to Cromlix on a sort of rotational basis so that our guests can enjoy our personal collection as much as we do. Freeing up space at home is, of course, an added bonus for me.”
The couple live in a lavish Surrey mansion, but the sheer volume of artwork that the tennis legend has collected has left them with no more room for additional pieces.
