520			_aHidden Treasures, Simple Pleasures was put together by three friends imbued with a common passion: the collection of beautiful things, mostly but not exclusively works of art. Over several decades, the friendship and the collections grew alongside each other, and it can be safely said that the collecting encouraged the friendship, and vice versa.This book is, therefore, a record of both adventures, as much as it is a record of these men as individuals gifted with a special acumen and of their compulsion not only to acquire but to share- through such means as this book-their artistic bounty. The objects represented here may not all fall under the rubric of fine art, but even their exuberant electicism brings a note of freshness, a touch of the amateur in the original sense of the word as a lover, rather than a professional acquirer, of things.
