  1. I was watching an early morning documentary on Sky Arts (hello sailor) about Christie's, Sotheby's etc. Now I'm far from a philistine - I am a patron of the arts and artist both (multi-disciplinary regular artist and piss-artist nonpareil) but watching this, there was an auction a few years back and one version of the same subject sold for $52,887,500. Was it: Correggio - Leda e il Cigno (1530/31). Or Cy Twombly - Leda and the Swan (1962). Have a guess which? I can never decide in certain cases whether art sometimes robs the rich to feed the poor and artists laugh at rich fuckers being rinsed. Then you hear of a Basquiat painting bought by a rich twat for $19,000 selling for $55m and come to the conclusion... Rich twats always win, always. Subprime crash - win. UK Bailout - win. Brexit - win. Covid-19 Pandemic - win. I'd say hang them - but the slime they ooze would ensure they slip the noose when dropped, they'd then quickly slither down a nearby drain to freedom. 😡 If you haven't guessed it was the latter painting. I've done better but don't have the bullshit patter to hoodwink the movers and shakers.
