According to Nora Ephron, Steve Wynn punched a hole Picasso's painting, Le Rêve, shortly after selling it for $139 Million. Yes, it was an accident, but it put the kibosh on what would have been the most expensive painting sale in history.
Wynn stepped away from the painting, and there, smack in the middle of Marie-Therese Walter's plump and allegedly-erotic forearm, was a black hole the size of a silver dollar - or, to be more exactly, the size of the tip of Steve Wynn's elbow -- with two three-inch long rips coming off it in either direction. Steve Wynn has retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease that damages peripheral vision, but he could see quite clearly what had happened."Oh shit," he said. "Look what I've done."The rest of us were speechless.
