Paulson and Co. have a lot of flexibility under the legislation, and could ultimately act as a kind of sovereign wealth fund, injecting cash for equity, as famed investor Warren Buffett recently did with Goldman Sachs. Or the Feds could avoid carrying equity by lending money to financial institutions willing to buy up questionable bank assets at discounted rates.

None of these paintings however were made by the hands, or with the permission, of the artists. The Western art world has historically been one of trends (remember when feces paintings were in?) but never has such conceptual larceny, such outright theft of not only theme but style, been seen this side of the Yangtze. Perhaps I didn’t fully realize the situation...
