Would you pay $139 million for this painting by Picasso?
Not sure I would buy it at the price, but then again I don't have 139,000,000 in folding to spare. To me, Picasso is one of the artists who define the 20th century. He was 18 years old when the century began (strictly speaking 19) and he lived through a fair chunk of it, not least two world wars.

Art for our sake: eight
Ever wondered what art is all about, what art is for, who is it for? For that matter, what is art? All of this week's reviews touch on this issue. When I tell people that I volunteer at an art museum, it's not unusual for the conversation to include them saying that they know nothing about art. Let me turn that argument on its head. I attended a series of presentations recently about African heritage art and one of the presenters in particular made a point that we are all art experts. We all know something about art because we have all created art at some point, we have all seen and appreciated paintings, sculptures, buildings, statues and other forms of art. More importantly, we all have opinions about art. This edition of Art for our sake, explores this theme.

The real reason for Mona Lisa’s insane popularity
As the first rays of sunlight pierced the Parisian skyline on August 21st, 1911, a man named Vincenzo Peruggia carefully lifted a painting from its place on the wall, concealing it under his arm. With the prized artwork in his grasp, he descended the back stairs of the Louvre. Freedom seemed within reach, but then a two-fold dilemma presented itself: the exit was locked, and approaching footsteps threatened to expose him. Clutched tightly under Peruggia's arm was none other than Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, the "Mona Lisa." It is arguably the world's most renowned painting today. But how did this iconic status come to be?

Visit to Frick Madison
Whenever I go to New York City, I try to get into the Met for my dosage of art and culture. However, in August this year one of my friends from Kyrgyzstan came to NYC and we had two and a half days together. I was responsible for planning and when I suggested to my friend to go to the Met she said that she always felt intimidated there because there was so much to see and never enough time to do it all.
