Millionaire can’t protect his art from his elbow
Wynn had just finalised a $139 million (€111m) sale to another collector of his painting, called Le Rêve (The Dream), when he poked a finger-sized hole in the artwork while showing it to friends at his Las Vegas office a couple of weeks ago. Mr Wynn’s office has only now confirmed the story.
Director and screenwriter Nora Ephron, who witnessed and related the incident in her blog on the Huffington Post website (www.huffingtonpost.com), said Mr Wynn had raised his hand to show the group something about Picasso’s 1932 portrait of his mistress Marie-Therese Walter.
