...Wynn's collection of 20 paintings, from Degas to Picasso. Wynn has also made his presence felt as an art dealer. Since the Bellagio opened three months ago, Wynn has sold a number of pieces from the late 20th century: a Jasper Johns, a Lichtenstein, two Warhol pieces and Rauschenberg's The Small Red Painting, which purportedly went to billionaire publisher SI NEWHOUSE. "He has got rid of quite a few 20th century paintings and is starting to go into the Renaissance," says ALAN FELDMAN, Wynn's spokesman. In fact, he has added a Rembrandt, a Rubens and a Renoir...

In that important sense, the story TIME tells this week isn't so different from the one the magazine has been telling for 75 years...
