Pablo Picasso Painting Sold At World Record Price In Auction
Picasso's Nude, Green Leaves and Bust has sold for $106m (£70m) at Christie's in New York on Tuesday, setting a new world record for a work of art sold at auction.
The vibrant large-scale depiction of Picasso's mistress and frequent subject, Marie-Therese Walter, was the highlight of a world-class collection assembled by the late Los Angeles art patrons Frances and Sidney Brody.
It had been estimated to sell for more than $80m, but many art experts predicted in recent weeks it would ride growing confidence in a recovering art market and break the previous record of $104.3m set in February by Giacometti's Walking Man I at Sotheby's in London.
More than half a dozen people bid on the 1932 canvas, which the Brodys acquired in the 1950s from Picasso's dealers, with the winning bid taken by a Christie's executive via telephone. The final price of $106,482,500 included the auction's house's commission.

Be Sincere Not Serious
Don't just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful, balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, and mental peace are all in good order. There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your break-up. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tension. |
Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first.. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble.
Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.
One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a prepaid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up?
It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices.
"Don't be serious, be sincere."
God gave me nothing I wanted; He gave me everything I needed.

FOR YOU...!!
What are here are the answers
to the path you've chosen even now
Hey, it's ok to have the confidence to go on

LONELY the wind blows
FEELING I understood
Even though the answer is not anywhere
CALL ME We can understand each other
WITH YOU Love is always something that’s reciprocated
FOR YOU
Because surely someday, you are
Meant to fly in that sky
No matter how many times you stumble
FOR YOU
What’s important is one thing
Having a dream
Just don't close your heart
Even if you got hurt, you stifled your tears and endured it
Because I was always the closest to you and saw that
Even though you don’t say anything, I understand
How hard you have tried no matter when
LONELY If you get lost
TRY AGAIN however many times
You can do it over
I’M HERE I’m beside you

Meant to fly in that sky

To treasures like none other
It talks. Spread both your hands out now FLY

It’ll be okay...!! All Is Well..!!
It’ll be okay, just look up
It’s okay, do you see the seven color (rainbow) bridge?
We can finally smile beneath the same sky
When we re-tie our shoelaces, the wind pushes us forward
Let’s continue our dreams beyond the light that spills from the sky
My heart beats within my chest, hope and fear pulsate through my veins
I wonder if it’s really okay, I wonder if I can make it through it all
It’ll be okay, just look up
It’s okay, do you see the seven color (rainbow) bridge?
It’s formed in the sky by the tears you shed
Hey, I know you can see it in the distance
I can see it too, same as you
Our two skies now become as one
We can finally smile beneath the same sky
We were born with different skies, skies that reflect our memories
You have your own story and tears I know nothing about
I might have been smiling at the same time you were crying
There may be similar kinds of happiness, but I doubt that for sadness
You place a border on the future with ‘promises’ and adorn it with words
I’m sure you wanted a guaranteed tomorrow more than anyone
Like a single season that goes by
Let your sad times remain sad
Don’t rush to turn them into happiness
It’s okay, I’m here for you
It’s okay, I’m not going anywhere
When it’s time to run, I’ll still run together with you
“Would that bridge form in a world without tears?”
The graffitti scrawled on the wall resembled someone’s handwriting
You wanted to build a bridge to get away from sadness
But now I close my eyes and toss my umbrella away
It’s okay
It’ll be okay, just look up
It’s okay, do you see the seven color (rainbow) bridge?
Look up in your sky that has cried all of its tears
Hey, I know you can see it shining brightly
I can see it too, same as you
The rainbow of our bond has formed
And now
Our two skies will finally, finally become as one
And get us to run!!

I WANT TO LIVE IT...!!
If you know what you want to do
Sketch out your clumsy dreams
If you know what you want to do
Sketch your dreams with clumsy and brilliant pleasant love
"You don't have to pretend, I think you without a cool side is just fine"
If we get used to doing everything with all of our effort
we'll stop doing things with fruitless effort, like our journey
It's like the hands and feet of an elementary student, moving completely together in a parade
Things like living, aren't they great?
Surely being laughed at by people is just fine
Inside the inside of my heart, the real me has been locked up
Flesh and blood's 36.5 degrees, well, to put it plainly, we don't stop
Although I'll still pretend to be tough, and still build up a barrier
I'm struggling with the pain
Even though it would be so great if I could say that these are painful times
We're just laughing cowards pretending to be strong
Even though I'm lonely, I'm pretending like it doesn't bother me at all
In order to protect myself, who feels like he's crumbled all that he can
It shouldn't be just me who has these feelings of having no place to go
This untraceable loneliness
I carry it with me...
I don't care about anybody else's pain
Although when it becomes my own pain, then I start to care
I think "I hate people because I'm the only one who's unhappy"
As usual, I grieve over things that I can't have and cry like a three year old kid
I'm sitting waiting for my afternoon snack called love
Not even giving in to the reflection in the asphalt
While walking with my own legs, I looked at people and thought
If I have legs which can make me move, and there's a place that I want to go to
Them I'm going to start walking there with my own legs right now
There were many more nights
Sketch out your clumsy dreams

Them I'm going to start walking there with my own legs right now
There were many more nights
where I was not sure if I'd get my real smile back again, but
In the warmth of important people who supported me,
I thought I'd ask if they thought I
In the warmth of important people who supported me,
I thought I'd ask if they thought I
could believe in seeing the world a different way, once more
Even though it would be so great if I could say that these are painful times
We're just laughing cowards pretending to be strong
Even though I'm lonely, I'm pretending like it doesn't bother me at all
In order to protect myself, who feels like he's crumbled all that he can, however
The mistakes and scars in my life, nights and days where tears stained my face
It's all proof that I've lived my life being myself
If there's something you want to do from this point on
Sketch out your clumsy dreams with more strength than anybody else
Put away your excuses, hold up your chest without hesitation
Keep on singing about a human called yourself!!!

My body knows my heart better than myself
if I’m nervous my palms will get sweaty
is it always? in the tears that want me to stop grinding my teeth
I’ve been taught what sorrow and regret are
I’ve stuffed in many bags your hopeful words before setting off
whenever I tried to turn back, you are the one who stopped me
I’m always at a loss for words but you always
held me close without saying anything
because you really knew better what loneliness was
patting my back while I’m squatting down, your little palm that always beside me
more than any beautifully decorated words, I’ve been saved by this warmth
never does everything go smoothly, surely when everything goes wrong
we notice that a person's existence is important. I thank you for loving me no matter
how I am and for being beside me always.
lying down on a grassy patch and gazing at the flowing clouds
I was able to regain a peaceful heart
just a little, there, I got the feeling its more gentle than yesterday and
I reflected on how a person cannot live alone
but still faraway I’m enchanted by the swaying flower of miracles
my precious regular days have already been seasoned
being older I have forgotten my youth, catching up from behind so I can see it
I overlooked the importance of that important person
we can't live with just pretty thoughts, the promised sky can get polluted
because under this beautiful clear sky, in that blueness I swore I would "definitely"
without letting go of my damaged ideals, I think back upon the days that have come
always looking back at the past would make tomorrow sad, we have no choice but to go on
for the sake of our loved person right before our eyes
comforting my invisible scars, I have your gentle palm with me
surely more than being applauded around the world, the important things are beside me
I’ve gotten lost living these hectic days, even sympathy now seems to be meaningless
I might not get another chance so while I may not be noticed
for you who loved one such as me, I wrote this song "thank you"
words are not enough, surely I won't be able to catch up
words are not enough but, but, thank you
