...first artist to work at the intersection of art and trash. The kitsch shenanigans of Jeff Koons have been a major inspiration for him, and so has the later work of Francis Picabia--those painstaking oils from the 1940s that Picabia copied from naughty photographs. But in the mid-'90s Currin began to introduce old master borrowings into his work, at first conflating them with soft, pillowy porn, then working them into more conventionally scaled nudes and lately scattering them into satires of life among the well dressed and well fed. His art-history references come from all over--Botticelli...
Blame Tony Bennett. Blame his son, actually. It was Danny Bennett who resuscitated his father's career by parading old Tone down the red carpet at every mid-'90s hipster event that attracted a camera. The incongruity of Tony Bennett next to k.d. lang and the Red Hot Chili Peppers made for great gossip-page photographs and generated enough heat to get Dad his own MTV Unplugged, and that's where Tony really shook things up.

And he recently produced comeback singles for the former Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham, whose British girl-band, the Spice Girls, briefly ruled the late-'90s airwaves...
Christmas is supposed to be a happy?and wildly profitable?time, at least if you're Satoru Iwata, CEO of Nintendo, one of the world's leading makers of video games. And during the '80s and '90s, it was a joyous holiday. For most of that time, the Kyoto-based game company could count on at least one of every two game consoles gift-wrapped under Christmas trees to have been manufactured by the firm. And each of those game boxes would generate revenue streams that trickled well into the new year, as customers became addicted to Nintendo-owned franchises...
