Ousting Mugabe is not exactly a catastrophic outcome tbh but it seems they just want to purge his associates and reinstate him for his last leg? Idk, I'm not a Zimbabwe expert.

Yeah, but times of political unrest - especially when the military are involved - are rarely conducive to safety for the people.

Especially military coups, agreed.

It's now come to this that my first reaction was "Oh, only four people".

Artist creates bot on Tinder that only speaks in lines from Lady Chatterley's Lover.
Salvator Mundi was sold for $10,000 at an auction in 2005. Imagine finding that. Before that it was sold for £58, admittedly in 1958.
Here's a more in depth article about it: https://news.artnet.com/opinion/leon...isties-1137170

Fighter pilots draw sky penis using contrail
Does anyone believe this is even authentic?
Before it was supposedly by an apprentice rather then da Vinci himself and frankly, the painting itself is not really the level of quality I'd expect from him. The whole thing smells like a scam to me.
well I guess we're glad we have dude on the internet disputing the authenticity of something that every art expert in the world was probably all over
lol
Basically everyone I know in RL is taking it with a hefty grain of salt, but okay.
That's about as reliable an art-examining demographic as a bunch of Twitter eggs.

Even in the event that it was somehow submitted to and cleared by a reputable auction house and still managed to be a fake, forgery, or misattribution, there is a surprising amount of monetary value attached to pieces of controversial authenticity and forgeries that entertain a certain celebrity status of their own.
Essentially, sometimes fakes are even more valuable to collectors than the real deal.
Are you saying that an imitation can surpass the original?

Dang it, ninja'ed.
I understand the reasoning behind this, but historically works found later to be forgeries have, consequently, had their supposed value refunded to the buyer and then fallen into obscurity. This happened to a work by some Dutch artist that went on auction a while back, as well as (later found, incorrectly) some paintings by Johannes Vermeer suspected to be forgeries.

Yes, I mean, what kind of auction house would wreck their reputation by not doing that?
But what I mean is, works where the authenticity has been in question prior to bidding or works that are known forgeries with a notoriety about them or produced by a prolific forger. They can and do hold inherent bidding value for some collectors.
It’s not necessarily the case here of course, and if this were to turn out a fraud I’m sure Christie’s would issue a refund faster than Usain Bolt, but to ultra-billionaires, the intrigue can be a factor that heightens their bidding adrenaline.
Weirdly enough, I know a guy this happened to; he bought a fire-damaged painting at auction for 3k and when he had it cleaned up and investigated, they told him it was an authentic Courbet that was probably work at least a hundred times what he paid. So he put it on his wall and called it his retirement plan.
