Last night, Jackson Pollocks painting "#5" (1948) went for 140 million dollars to a private collection. (Alledgedly, from mogul David Geffen to Mexican financier David Martinez) I can only hope that he's laughing in heaven at all his critics and naysayers - it's the most paid for a single painting in history.

Nope, that was casino king Steve Wynn, and he put his elbow through a Picasso from his Blue Period- it was going to sell for 140 million to Steven Cohen, the hedge-fund millionaire. Apparently he said "I'm glad that was me." Yup.
