The first art exhibit I saw was of Francis Bacon's in Tokyo last spring and we had caught it by accident and hungover no less. His works are truly remarkable and I found so much intrigue in every piece of his. It was also delightful how I could share my theories with a fellow conspirator whilst miserably pretending to be posh and cultured. Since then, I have had a growing interest in art, or at least paying money to see art.

UPDATE: While I sit here and dream, of course a rich and actually cultured bourgeois is making it happen. He's made it happen a couple dozen times. Read here.
