About those Giacometti sculptures, the Koval antiques site reports that the
Alberto Giacometti bronze sculpture "L'homme qui marche I" ("Walking Man I")
sold last week for $104,327,006. It is the most expensive artwork ever sold
at auction.

Perhaps we are in the wrong artistic endeavor. Metal working, sculpture and
bronze casting seem to pay pretty well. Now all I have to do is convince my
wife to give up brush and paint in favor of a welding torch.
