...reminiscent of the bubble that inflated in the '80s, when dealmakers such as Australia's Alan Bond and yen jillionaires like Ryoei Saito chased Van Goghs to the stratosphere. (Saito paid $82.5 million for Portrait of Dr. Gachet.) Dotcom entrepreneurs with Internet funny money bought Impressionists and Pop Art. Today a new generation of hedge-fund billionaires and Chinese and Russian kleptocrats is part of an ocean of capital flowing into galleries and auction houses. "There seem to be no limits to what people will pay, and in every kind of art," says art-tax specialist Ralph Lerner, whose clients...
Before you judge, remember that you too were once young and unwise.

Arkley's 25-year career connected comic strips and Conceptualism, Surrealism and suburbia, punk rock and Postmodernism - all with the zip of his airbrush, blurring the line between rarefied art and popular taste in the process.

...specialized form of pop culture could keep the heat up for long, and in the mid-'60s the foreign-language film wave started to ebb. In 1966, Haliday and Harvey gave up control of Janus, with Haliday going to Europe to concentrate on his acting career. (IMDb notes that two of the films he appeared in, Devil Doll and The Projected Man, were cheesy enough to be riffed on Mystery Science Theater 3000.)
