Met her once, briefly. Chatted about Kabokov (a mutual collector we know, long story). She was friendly, cute, smelled great. I really didn't know what sort of Jackie Collins scale of life she was living at the time, no idea. Seemed to have a good head on her shoulders, though. Must suck to always have armed bodyguards around though, thanks to hubby. Hm.

I hate her because she used to date Safin - I mean, I'm not married and I have no kids, but if I did I'd leave 'em in a heartbeat for a night with that Russian giant. Anyway, more on topic: when Safin and Zhukova were dating a British tabloid got a pap shot of them having outdoor sex on a lounge chair - so those of you unafraid of the NSFW tag might want to try Google images with safe search off...

@Omitofo: Because Italian polite society speaks Latin, of course. Now we know what vulgaris means.

@hilikusopus: yeah, I was a freshman and she was a junior at the time. She totally took advantage of me and copied my homework every day. She was so pretty and intense I let her! Girl was NOT an intellectual. She was also taking Russian (which is her first language) to boost her GPA.

Gagosian is quite the cold-blooded, ruthless, money-grubbing, power-hungry pig. Now that he has climbed to the top of the greasy pole everyone is scared of crossing him. He needs a good come-uppance.

@if_i_only_had_a_heart: Amen. The worst part about this is not that so much money was chasing the works of living artists who should be developing their craft and their vision, but instead that the artists were marketed as celebrities while so much of their work is absolute shit. You pick two great examples of completely ridiculous "art". The Wall Street and hedge fund bubble brought to the art markets a lot of people with enormous amounts of money but no taste or perspective, and they bought works the way they bought stocks and homes and everything else, purely on name recognition and the assumption that it was going up in value. Now they're stuck with collections of ugly, stupid, soulless garbage, and it couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of people.

that's a silly idea. Personally I'm glad that the blockbuster bullshit idea of an "artist" is crumbling as well. While I don't have any faith that most can bring great work to the streets - where it needs to be - at least this will stop sell-out try hards from sucking so much f'ing d*ick to make a buck in the 'scene'.

Smells better at the bottom.

@Mike Salter: My ex-bf is an artist and had moved to NYC for his career... he always insisted that he chose art because he genuinely just wanted to do something he loved, and dreamed of someday maybe teaching at a college. But he moved to New York and suddenly the fantasy turned into "becoming an art star". His work changed according to what was selling, and all he would ever talk about was these other artists who were selling shit for gobs of money, and how much he wanted to just be like them. He never talked about teaching again. Sad.

On the bright side, this'll be really good for their artistic integrity.
