...that he is pruning his collection, the bewilderment is great. What artists fear is not so much that their prices will falter -- though that happened to Italy's Sandro Chia when Saatchi dumped him -- as that new traders can move in and, by buying blocks from Saatchi, bypass the artists' dealers and force prices up out of all proportion to those of their new work.

We substantially increased the amount of housing for the needy...
