    I absolutely love that sculpture. But I wonder - how often did Si even look at it? Which home did he stash it in? Was he viewing it as the world burned over the last year, coming to it for solace as another person might in times of distress?

    How odd that by virtue of something's value - $20 million, a sum only a true plutocrat could spend on a single piece of art - it became less precious in terms of the daily appreciation it could have received from its owner. #sinewhouse

    @Unsolicited Advice: and that a single piece of art can balance the books of a publishing empire. #sinewhouse

    The NAME! The name belies such ominous portent, especially if you're a media magnate. "L'homme qui chavire" = the man who trips/stumbles/tumbles.

    That being said, what a gorge sculpture. Even Giacometti's going down in value these days? [Sad face..] #sinewhouse

    I liked that piece better when it was animated and set to a Tool song when I was stoned in my teens. #sinewhouse

    I've been unemployed for so long now I'm considering bronzing my dog's poo and putting it on a nice looking pedestal to see if any billionaires will buy it. I'll call it avant garde and tell them it will make a great coversation piece for their second gift-wrapping room and even discount it down to a mere 5 million!

    Why not keep the sculpture? I'm sure Anna Wintour could use it for an upcoming Vogue cover. #sinewhouse

    Ahh, TableNine's third brilliant suggestion in the Lacey paintings. If only we had listened to that boy, instead of walling him up in the abandoned coke oven.
