...Waste of Ink and Money The three years and $5000 that detective Ed Soares has spent on his tattoo could have been better spent on shelters for the homeless, hospitals, clinics, cancer research or any other worthy cause [Nov. 5]. Such a donation would be a better way to show Soares' humanity. As a physician I have seen many tattoos of varied quality, meaning and placement on the body. I have encouraged my tattoo-loving patients to forgo the ink and instead donate their dollars to nonprofit medical research. Michael Canham, M.D., Denver...

Even in Vietnam, idyllic rural scenes coated in the country's distinctive lacquer that sold for a few hundred dollars a few years ago are now selling for 10 times that.

Overall, leading auction houses Sotheby's and Christie's auctioned $190 million in contemporary Asian art last year, compared...
...Asian art didn't always reward such experimentalism. In the great art academies of India, China and Vietnam, technical skill and an ability to reference the region's rich cultural heritage outweighed social commentary or renegade brush strokes. For centuries, Chinese students spent their school years laboriously copying the ink landscapes of ancient masters. The same held true in India, where artistic merit often was equated either with an ability to reproduce themes from religious epics or mimic the miniaturist details of the Mughals. In Vietnam, the 20th century's most promising painters attended the École Supérieure...
