On Saturday, reality show star Kim Kardashian, 42, and retired NFL player Tom Brady, 46, got into a bidding war at the inaugural Reform Alliance Casino Event.
Hosted by Jay-Z, Michael Rubin and Meek Mill, the event took place at the Ocean Casino Resort, located in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Kardashian and Brady reportedly went head-to-head as they each tried to acquire a pricy art piece.
The two playfully exchanged blows, but ultimately, Kardashian and Tom finally agreed to give $2 million each and work it out in private.
The artwork was painted by George Condo, 65, an American artist who specializes in artificial realism, an art form that emphasizes the creation of a greater image, regardless of their representation of reality. Condo says he is inspired to mix styles of cubism, expressionism and classicism by artists such as Picasso and Arcimboldo. His fresh take on modern art has catapulted him to success.

Though he is still mostly known for his lyrical, America-set road movie Paris, Texas, which won the Palme d’Or in 1984, Germany’s Wim Wenders does most of his best work when he’s back on home turf. The Berlin Wall, for example, provided the backdrop for his 1987 masterpiece Wings of Desire, in which philosophical angels roamed a divided city that was still trying to reckon with the shame of the Second World War. His new documentary, Anselm, is ostensibly the biography of a fellow artist, but it doesn’t take too much imagination to read it as a veiled autobiography, in that its subject isn’t so much a person as the way that life experience and intelligence combine to create art.
In that respect, Wenders’ film, a Special Screening at the Cannes Film Festival, will not do much to generate a whole new audience for artist Anselm Kiefer...

Comedian Hannah Gadsby is speaking up about the controversial ties the Sackler family has to their upcoming art show.
Gadsby, who uses they/them pronouns, co-creates the exhibit “It’s Pablo-matic: Picasso According to Hannah Gadsby” at the Brooklyn Museum, a show dedicated to unwrapping the complicated legacy of the artist. The program’s curators also include Catherine Morris, Sackler Senior Curator for the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art.
“I’m doing a show at the Brooklyn Museum. There’s one Sackler on the board [trustee emerita Elizabeth A. Sackler]. We vetted this. Apparently, they’ve separated their earning streams from the problematic one,” Gadsby told Variety. “I mean, take that with a grain of salt. Doesn’t matter what cultural institution you work with in America, you’re going to be working with billionaires and there’s not a billionaire on this planet that is not fucked up. It is just morally reprehensible.

While the Royal Family polishes the crown jewels for next month’s coronation, the diadem that once belonged to another late Queen will soon be up for auction.
A rummage sale, of sorts, containing items that once belonged to Freddie Mercury will be hitting the block this summer via Sotheby’s, according to the Associated Press. The 1,500-item sale will take place in September, after a June tour of Mercury’s belongings to Sotheby’s houses in New York, Los Angeles, and Hong Kong. A portion of the sale’s income will go to charity.
