    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

    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'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

    What's a Cipriani? Someone from Cyprus?

    And speaking of tennis:

    "The Cipriani boasts the only tennis courts and swimming pool in central Venice "

    This reminds me - as what doesn't? - of the moral relativism of Mark Twain. Remember him? He sailed to europe one year, and violated a quarantine to sneak onto the island with some other boys to observe the Pantheon. Returning, he and his henchmen would wander into fig fields to gather what they may. They began to notice shadowy figures behind them on the darkening trail back to the dock. Herders, working as guards for the figfield fiefdom. So Mark and crew hurried, whereupon the herders did likewise, and then the boys broke into a run, and so did the herders, and then the boys cast aside all their store of figs, "Not because we feared the herders, but because we had come to believe that stealing is wrong." #giuseppecipriani

    I truly hope that he never comes back. If we're lucky, all the restaurants will be closed and the entire family will be deported.

    Downtown Cipriani is the worst restaurant in New York. Loud. Crowded. Terrible service and mediocre food.

    The fact that this restaurant is always crowded is proof that a certain segment of the city's wealthy are foolish, tasteless wankers. #giuseppecipriani

    @smithhimself: The food is overpriced. I actually work in the building that houses the (awesome) Midtown catering space, and it has a little attached deli that is quite the ripoff.

    The catering space gets used all the time - it used to be a bank, and it's very dramatic. Maybe someone else can take it over and provide better food. #giuseppecipriani

    @BettyCrocker: Overpriced and awful.

    The worst restaurants that tourists go to are an unholy three:

    Tavern on The Green (although maybe that will change with new ownership)

    The Rainbow Room (Once, I found a staple in my rice at this place and the waiter accused me of placing it there)

    And, of course, Mamma Leone's. Eating from a can of cat food will give you a better experience.
