Christie’s, London, had another auction last week. This one dedicated to Dutch photographers. They were lucky that the financial and economical crises seemed not to have reached the super rich art collectors. Five thousand up to twenty thousands euro’s was not unusual. Most was paid for “the ice cream parlour” from the series “Rain” by Erwin Olaf ( over € 22.000). But Ruud van Empel (“World”), Desirée Dolron (“Xteriors”) and Celine van Balen (Muslim girls) were very much in demand also.
Why?

News especially for the young and the young at heart.
Sheer bad luck trance DJ’s don’t compete in an Olympic sport. If that would have been the case, the Netherlands would have had an extra gold and silver medal.Read this:
De Nederlandse Armin van Buuren werd vannacht opnieuw uitgeroepen tot beste dj ter wereld, door de lezers van het Britse tijdschrift DJ Magazine. De trance-dj stond vorig jaar ook al op één. Tiësto, die de prijs in 2002, 2003 en 2004 in de wacht sleepte, werd tweede.
So compatriot Armin van Buuren is declared the best trance DJ of the year. The second year in a row. And the winner of 2002 till 2004,Tiësto, ranks number 2 in this list.
I’m sorry that this flash probably isn’t in time for this invitation: The top 100 DJs afterparty is set to rock London’s Lightbox through the early hours of Thursday Morning! .. Doors open at 3am and won’t close until the last man leaves! And admission is FREE!
Though I’m in a gloomy mood, I hereby declare I love mankind. But, lets be honest about it, the world would probably have been a better place without the human species.
I love believers. They are my fellow men and women after all. But don’t you think the lot of them wouldn’t be so fucked up, if they never ever had been in touch with their ideology?
Surrounded by friends and family members who are economists of a kind, I can’t but love economists. I do so also because they are part of mankind. And because, as professionals, they are believers. They usually believe economy is a science. The only science with an absolute unshakable truth: the free market. As you know in this ideology the invisible hand is God and Milton Friedman is his prophet. To them there is no economy, but free market economy. There is no alternative.
