The works by American artist Cy Twombly really seem to be loved and sought after by many collectors, curators and museum directors. And in July 2007 a reported fact proved how someone can love excessively his masterpieces. Everyone will remember the scandal raised by Rindy Sam, French artist of Cambogian origins who, while visiting the  Collection Lambert Museum of Avignon, kissed a white canvas by Twombly. A love gesture, an artistic act provoked by the power of art that cost Sam the charge for having “vandalized” a masterpiece worth 2 million dollars.

When ants start marching out of the palm of your hand, it’s cause for alarm, even if it’s only a dream.
Eyeballs floating by your head? Safe to say you’re probably watching a movie spawned by the twisted mind of Salvador Dali.
Everyone’s favorite surrealist is haunting New York’s Museum of Modern Art this summer, in a thrilling exhibition called “Dali: Painting and Film”.
The biggest shiver comes right at the top of the show, where “Un Chien Andalou” (”An Andalusian Dog”), Dali’s legendary 1929 collaboration with Spanish director Luis Bunuel, is playing to throat-clutching effect.
This short, silent film features not only those ants but the famous close-up of a man (actually Bunuel himself) slicing through a woman’s eye with a razor blade.(Bloomberg)

The Museum of Modern Art in New York has bought 23 photographs by eight Chinese contemporary artists.
MoMA’s purchase includes some of the most influential artists to emerge in the 1990s, including Rong Rong, Huang Yan and Ai Weiwei. China’s rapid industrialization is one of their topics.
While prices for Chinese contemporary art have soared in the past five years, U.S. museums have been slow to add the works. Last year the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York purchased Hai Bo’s “Bicycle Riders From the Series The North” a 2005 group of eight wall-size images of men riding bicycles. (Bloomberg)
