However, when he returned to the city in Jan he pronounced he detected that all had been sole to a singular customer over an superb $1,350 storage bill.

"I have been kidnapped in Lebanon. I have been stabbed 50 times in my apartment. But this is the misfortune thing that has happened to me," he said. "And there is an aroma here that isn"t lilies of the valley."

Mr Haden-Guest pronounced his pick up of around 100 pieces enclosed work by the American painters David Salle and Donald Baechler, and the Barbadian artist Ashley Bickerton.

He pronounced that a integrate of months prior to his security were sold, his counsel had asked the California-based storage organisation to "give me sum so I could handle them monthly payments".

He combined "They refused. I called them to contend I would solve when I got behind to New York." Mr Haden-Guest purported the storage organisation done no try to hit his counsel and he indicated he would right away be receiving authorised action.

"They emailed me my invoices and they knew I was in London, but didn"t mail a notice and obviously done no bid to hit me there," he said.

The New York storage organisation has refused to comment.

Mr Haden-Guest, who changed to New York in the late 1970s is at large insincere to have been the impulse for Peter Fallow, the hard-drinking, asocial British publisher in the Tom Wolfe novel The Bonfire of the Vanities. He has discharged the organisation as a "canard".
