Living with Art

May 1, 2009 by Marion Maneker

We’re less concerned with the subject of this blind gossip item about an actress with a bad temper than we are with it as an illustration of the perils of living with art:

Recently she got into a fight with her current boy toy and during the argument threw a glass or two or three at her toy. Well, on one of her throws she missed and hit an original Picasso she has hanging on her wall. The painting was shredded by the glass as it shattered as well as the beverage she had inside. Of course she told her insurance company it fell during a mild earthquake and landed on a glass table beneath the painting, shattering the table and damaging the painting.

First, Steve Wynn. Now this. Pretty soon someone will pass a law about selling Picassos to folks in Hollywood and Las Vegas.
