Victoria Beckham says she and hubby David are bonding over a love of posh art thanks to pal Elton John.
The Spice Girls singer turned fashion designer has been a collector of pricey paintings – including pop art. Posh Spice said: “It’s not football, it’s not fashion, it’s not music – it’s something totally different that David and I are enjoying learning about together.
“I wanted to know more, but also said to Elton, ‘God, art is so expensive – how can you justify it?’ He replied, ‘Yes, it is, but how much joy does a piece you love give you every time you look at it? You can’t put a price on that.’”

Victoria, 49, and ex-Manchester United ace David, 48, have been sharing their life and love story in a Netflix series.
But in the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine, she told how even her art reflects their relationship, snapping up pieces by American artist Richard Prince, who turns existing shots into artworks.

Victoria gushed: “We have a few of Richard’s, but this one is especially cool because it’s of me as Posh Spice in the Say You’ll Be There video. David was watching it in a hotel room 30 years ago, when he pointed to me on the screen and said to Gary Neville, ‘I’m going to marry her.
“There is a Tracey Emin neon work which reads ‘I promise to love you. It’s cute and I love the energy. It’s hard to express how exciting the contrast between a Rembrandt and my contemporary fashion and architecture was.

”I respond to art with my instincts. For example, seeing one of Monet’s Houses of Parliament series for the first time was an amazing experience – I thought it was lit somehow, but it was just the paint radiating from the canvas. I felt really emotional.
“I’m not pretending to be the greatest expert, but I’m really enjoying learning.”
