April 30, 2008Surprise Exit
April 30, 2008This article, from the many art press sources I read daily (and only post when something pops up that I find interesting or unexpected) wins for the week, maybe even the month.

April 28, 2008A thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre.
After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas.
When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and the make such an obvious error, he replied,
“Monsieur that is the reason I stole the paintings.
I had no Monet
to buy Degas
to make the Van Gogh
See if you have De Gaulle to publicly post this on your blog.
I did because I figured I had nothing Toulouse.
Haha, sorry everyone – I promise graphs on the art market next time!
Last Day
April 22, 2008to buy your Artini tickets!

Did you know that in SE Asia (most notably Thailand & Burma) due to censorship and isolation paint, canvases and other art supplies must be bought on the black market … one would argue that this is probably a good indicator that these “emerging markets” aren’t quite ready to open up
