Steven Cohen paid casino magnate Steve Wynn $155m for “Le Reve”, a portrait of Picasso’s mistress Marie-Therese Walter.
Cohen, the 56-year old founder of SAC Capital, is one of Wall Street’s biggest art collectors, also owning works by Van Gogh and Manet.
The price is the highest paid by a U.S. collector for an artwork, art dealers told Bloomberg.
Wynn had previously agreed to sell the painting to Cohen for $139 million in 2006. The purchase was cancelled after Wynn, whose vision has deteriorated owing to retinitis pigmentosa, accidentally put his elbow through the canvas. Cohen remained interested in the work for years as it was repaired.
“The restoration seems to be factored into the price,” Beverly Schreiber Jacoby, valuation specialist and president of New York-based BSJ Fine Art, told Bloomberg. “If you didn’t know that it has been damaged, you would not see it. It’s superbly restored.”

School Boy Q i think it was him, was so fucking wack on Sway in the morning. Ab-Soul came with it, and saved his ass. Lucky he was there, or he'd been wrecked.

looking at the freshman 2013... overall a good new class - even though most of them arn't really that new.
