...first time I saw the Obama gear, I knew it had begun. I do not mean the official campaign paraphernalia. I'm talking about the wares hawked here in Harlem, the black tees sold in sizes up to 5XL, with Barack Obama's head slightly out of proportion.

Many say the unimpressive results were a combination of already overinflated price estimates and the dismal economy. "Particularly with...
...collection of dreamlike portraits and landscapes by Zhang brought in just over $24 million - more than British art phenom Damien Hirst made in all of 2006. At Sotheby's Oct. 4 auction, the highest selling painting was Zhang Xiaogang's "Bloodline: Big Family No. 1," which sold for just under $3 million. In May, at rival auction house Christie's, a diptych of eight masked youths by Zeng Fanzhi fetched $9.7 million, a record for Asian contemporary artwork...
