Picasso’s “La Reve” $139,000,000. Hole in Picasso’s La Reve: Priceless.

OK, so I’m not a fan of Picaso and really should not think it’s kind of funny that Las Vegas Mogul Steve Wynn wound up elbowing his own masterpiece, planting a large hole in the middle of one of the world’s most valuable paintings.

In fact one of the most enjoyable things I did in Las Vegas last year was tour Wynn’s Bellagio Museum of Art, at that time showing a fantastic impressionist collection with a nice audio tour covering the history of impressionist paintings.

Phew, lucky I kept my Elbows to myself.

  1. I am a big fan of Picasso. I believe something like will only bring good publicity to the Picaso name and thus add value to other Picaso paintings.

  2. Thx Joel. Hey, I hope you are right. At a paltry $139,000,000 each we can only hope those Picasso’s will go WAY up in value.
