Bono the Art Fan

First Bono went to all the trouble to gain permission for his multi million dollar Hotel Clarence revamp and now it looks like the likeable U2 front man is keeping his hands full with what might possibly be his very own art gallery. The artist that will be responsible to design this exquisite structure is none other than Tadao Ando. The Japanese architect first met up with Bono in Osaka, Japan two years ago and since then they have been in awe of each other’s work. Bono likes Ando simply because of his heartfelt efforts in combating climate changes as well as making it a point to highlight Africa’s poverty at the upcoming G8 summit in the land of the rising sun. Ando has expressed his respects for Bono and further adds that the Irish man deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his commitment to battle AIDS.

The location of the new art gallery has not been decided but rumor has it that the concrete, steel and glass structure might just be located on the docklands.
