...baby octopus, fiery battle scenes with paint laid on thick enough to thrill a pastry chef. Of course, there was also his super-surrealism, typically in GALACIDALACIDEOXYRIB ONUCLEICACID (Homage to Crick and Watson), a title so long that it resorts to a parenthetical remark.

It includes the only Leonardo da Vinci in private ownership, a lush portrait of a Florentine maiden called the Ginevra dei Benci, as well as 27 Rubens paintings that are valued at $11 million, and paintings by Van Dyck, Brueghel, Rembrandt and Botticelli. The public is allowed to see only 75 of Franz Josef's lesser pictures, which are sandwiched into a modest building in Vaduz along with the tourist office and the national postage-stamp museum.
