...your business life," says Joanne Dennison, 43, who co-founded the group. "Our favorite saying is 'Leap, and the net will appear.' We are the net for one another." Last year the group added an extra layer of intimacy to its web of support. Each member took a decorative angel inscribed with her name to the December meeting. Then the women passed the angels around in a circle while one member read a poem. When the poem ended, each woman found herself holding the name--and angel--of her new individual cheerleader.

...Hirst's spotted Mini is roaring down the stairs as in a scene from The Italian Job. The staircase takes you to Hirst's sliced-up bovines, Some Comfort Gained from the Acceptance of the Inherent Lies in Everything, brooded over by Ron Mueck's London Angel. A corridor, giving a distant view of the shark, leads to the double-height circular conference room, now staffed with Saatchi icons.

The painter Willem de Kooning said it best: "He broke the ice." True enough, but it broke him too. --By Richard Lacayo
...This is how Rembrandt painted angels," Vincent van Gogh wrote to Emile Bernard in 1888. "He paints a self-portrait, old, toothless, wrinkled, wearing a cotton cap, a painting from life, in a mirror ... and, why or how I cannot tell ... Rembrandt paints a supernatural angel with a Da Vinci smile within that old man who resembles himself." That description certainly fits the superb 1669 Rembrandt self-portrait, on loan from London's National Gallery, currently hanging beside Van Gogh's own 1888 Self-Portrait as an Artist. It is the centerpiece of "Vincent's Choice...
