Steve Wynn pokes a hole in a Picasso

Went to the Picasso museum in Barcelona, and while I enjoy a good piece of art as the next person, none of his drawings really impressed me much.
 
I wonder if a man with that much money even cared...other than his appreciation for the painting in and of itself, that is.
 
At least it's probably restorable, unlike the one-of-a-kind antique wax grammophone tube that was shattered into hundreds of pieces by a collector with Parkinsons disease holding it too tight.:Q:brokenheart:

So what is the painting worth now? It still is the same painting, but with a hole in it.

20 million?

If he has it restored, would it be worth what he paid for it?
It's probably worth $150 million now due to the extra publicity. :laugh:

 
The guy's name is going down in the art history books. Decades from now when art students are discussing Picasso they'll learn how some guy named Steve Wynn poked a hole in it.

You would have thought Wynn could at least drop the F-bomb after poking a hole in a Picasso.
