Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010$130 million Picasso gets ripped by accident
Thursday, January 28th, 2010
New York. On friday last week a woman made a 6inch big tear drop on the lower right-hand corner of Picasso’s famous ‘The Actor’, while attending a class at the Metropolitan Museum.
The spokesman of the Museum stated that “She lost balance during this class session.”
The Picture immediately came to the Museum’s conservation studio for repair. “Fortunately, the damage did not occur in a focal point of the composition, and the curatorial and conservation staffs fully expect that the repair, which will take place in the coming weeks, will be unobtrusive,” the museum said.
This is not the first time that a Picasso suffered from a teardrop. The 1932 picture of Picasso’s mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter was about to be sold for a record $139 million. Because of a tear, the sale fell through and the painting’s estimated value fell to $85 million — a drop of $54 million.

Friday, December 18th, 2009Jürgen Teller is one of the big names when it comes to fashion photography.
In return, he doesn’t think so. He rather likes shooting his models naked, without any make-up, special lighting or a lot of photoshopping…
He tries to find the natural beauty in each woman he is photographing. With this attitude he revolutionized the scene; and made Kate Moss to his muse.

The price was the highest for a “Rembrandt in Auction”, the spokesman said. It catched a record price of 18 Million pounds.
Another piece that has been sold is a drawing by Raphael: “Head of a Muse”, sold for 29,2 Million pounds, which should be the record for the highest priced work on paper.
Experts argue due to Christmas the affinity to buy expensive on auctions is higher, as well as the consistent scare during Recession is increasing the number of collectors and those buying from established artists, rather than newcomer.

Lagerfeld seeks futurism looks for his CHANEL “Paris-Shanghai” collection
Monday, November 23rd, 2009Chanel is working hard for their regularly presented “between-season collection”. After “Paris-Londres” and a collection in Miami the theme will be:
PARIS – SHANGHAI
The theme is clear, but the interpretation needs transparency. First thing it reminded me of, was the glorious collection “Airborne” by Hussein Chalayan.
You might remember my post on the collection before that:
http://www.artition.com/news/2009/05/12/hussein-chalayan-design-museum-london/
Of course, elements of asian respectively chinese culture can be found here, but to what extent is Chanel transforming it’s rather “traditional” patterns and fabrics with this collections into more modern cuts and attitudes? This collection as well as Miami’s “Croisiere” is a proof for a little evolution in the old couture House on glorious Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris.
