For those who can't be bothered to plough through the long winded New Yorker report, I think the BBC one is a bit better written. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6061140.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6061140.stm) Title: Re: Steve Wynn's $40m elbow Post by: RED-DOG on October 19, 2006, 01:21:49 PM I don't think this incident will effect the painting's value at all. A Picasso with a hole in it is just as rare as a Picasso intact
Title: Re: Steve Wynn's $40m elbow Post by: tikay on October 21, 2006, 01:52:53 AM The Guardian had a nice twist on this. "Steve, still aghast at what he'd done, placed his finger in the hole & moved it around. Art experts say this is a bad thing to do". The Gruindag with a sense of humour. Whatever next? The Sun with News? Title: Re: Steve Wynn's $40m elbow Post by: NoflopsHomer on October 21, 2006, 01:57:13 AM The Guardian had a nice twist on this.
