Libs just blazing the trail so their moslem overlords won't have to destroy all decadent western art when they've taken over.

Assuming the canvas can be properly repaired, and it sounds like it can be, I doubt this will impact the value at all. But, I bet the guy had to go throw up after he realized what he'd done, lol.

I'm having more than a little trouble getting worked up over damage to that.

Cosmetics magnate Ronald Lauder paid $135 million in July for Gustav Klimt's 1907 portrait "Adele Bloch-Bauer I."

Trendy Man: Mr. Melon, your wife was just showing us her Klimt.
Thornton Melon: You too, huh? She's shown it to everybody.
Trendy Man: Well, she's very proud of it.
Thornton Melon: I'm proud of mine too. I don't go waving it around at parties, though.
Trendy Man: It's an exceptional painting.
Thornton Melon: Oh, the painting.

Let this be a lesson to all of us that are ready to drop $139 million on a painting.

When he owned the Bellagio in Las Vegas, wifey and I took the tour of his multi-million dollar art gallery....there were all sorts of security devices, and if you'd lean over the velvet rope, like I did to get a closer glimpse of a small picture, a guard would quickly whisper you away.

I saw him last time we stayed at Wynn Las Vegas. He has a very large bodyguard and as people began to notice him you could hear the buzz, "Steve Wynn, Steve Wynn", being whispered along the big corridor. He wasn't carrying a Picasso at the time.

Yep, considering he had it sold for more than any other painting to date, his butt is probably sore from kicking himself.
