BEST DATING TIP

“When you're interested in somebody and you think they might be interested in you, you should point out all your beauty problems and defects right away rather than take a chance they won't notice them. Maybe, say, you have a permanent beauty problem you can't change such as too-short legs. Just say it.“ My legs as you've probably noticed are much to short in proportion to the rest of my body". Why give the other person the satisfaction of discoverig it for themselves?".

Si le monde des enchères se repaît de records toujours plus spectaculaires, le marché haut de gamme ne représente qu'une part infime de l'offre mondiale. Aujourd'hui, le marché est constitué à plus de 80 % d'oeuvres adjugées pour moins de 5 000 $. Contrairement aux préconçus, cette manne d'oeuvres ne concernent pas seulement les « second couteaux », les marchés très localisés et les pièces anonymes (non prises en compte dans les analyses). Les signatures les plus cotées du monde changent elles aussi de mains dans des gammes de prix abordables, en fonction de leur médium, de leur état et de leur rareté. La preuve par l'exemple : en retenant les cinq artistes les plus cotés de la planète, à savoir Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Gustav Klimt et Mark Rothko (cf Top 10 : les oeuvres les plus chères du monde), force est de constater que tous font l'objet de transactions inférieures à 5 000 $.

MADONNA ON NEW YORK IN THE 1980's

"It's not the exciting place it used to be. It still has great energy; I still put my finger in the socket. But it doesn't feel alive, cracking with that synergy between the art world and music world and fashion world that was happening in the 80s. A lot of people died."

WARHOL INC

So I was shot at my place of business: Andy Warhol Enterprises. At that point, in 1968, Andy Warhol Enterprises consisted of a few people who worked for me on a fairly regular basis, a lot of what you might call free-lancers who worked on specific projects, and a lot of "superstars" or "hyperstars" or whatever you can call all the people who are very talented, but whose talents are hard to define and almost impossible to market. That was the "staff" of Andy Warhol Enterprises in those days. An interviewer asked me a lot of questions about how I ran my office and I tried to explain to him that I don't really run it, it runs me. I used a lot of phrases like "bring home the bacon" so he didn't really understand what I was talking about.

ANDY WHO?

«Somebody stopped me on Park Avenue and said; «You're that person on that commercial» and I said yes and gave him an INTERVIEW and then he said «Maybe you could help me?» and I said what it was because I was in sort of a rush, and he said that he wrote scripts and would I look at them and then he said «And what's your name?»

MADONNA

Impatient to get to "the centre of everything", in 1978 Madonna dropped out halfway through her course and went to New York. She scraped a living as a dancer and an artists' model before playing drums in a ska/pop band The Breakfast Club. By 1980 she had branched out to form her own act with boyfriend Steve Bray (later a producer on albums like True Blue and Like A Prayer). Despite this bold move, Madonna was floundering. She was living on her wits, relying on favours from friends and had no fixed address. After she became famous, Andy Warhol wrote in his diary: " Keith (Haring) said that when Madonna was sleeping on his couch, the stories he could write about people she had sex with..." And Bray remarked that being Madonna's boyfriend was a difficult job: "Some people are very upfront and some are like, 'You'll find out eventually you're not my boyfriend and that I'm seeing 12 other people.' That was more her approach. I learned not to count on her in that department."

Arnold Schwarzenegger is straight as a die. Why then he consented to this Blueboy interview? «Gays are like bodybuilders. Everyone stereotypes them and makes all kinds of assumptions about them. For a lot of years I've been categorized. I have suffered from being stereotyped so I feel for what it must be like to be gay. People meet me and they have already made up their minds about me because I'm a bodybuilder. It has hurt me». Arnold pauses and continues, «I respect gay men, communicate with them, associate with them»
