News about Diego Rivera

A Texas man appeared on Antiques Roadshow in 2012 with a painting that had been in his family for generations - and was shocked when it became the most expensive painting ever appraised on the show. The artwork was identified as 'El Albañil,' an early work of prominent Mexican painter Diego Rivera, created when he was just 18 years old. Its retail value was estimated at between $800,000 and $1 million, but that number jumped even higher in 2018, when it was reappraised for between $1.2 and $2.2 million.

While many contestants on the show are often lambasted for their poor performances , recent champion Nam Nguyen spoke out to defend one of his challengers, revealing that she was at a grave 'disadvantage' because of a simple error. Nam, a playwright from Ontario, came out on top in the Jeopardy! episode that aired on Monday, April 22, beating reigning champ Marko Saric, as well as challenger Elly Trickett (right). The first-time player took home $26,999 - even after getting the Final Jeopardy! answer wrong.

On Thursday afternoon, Chlo Sevigny was seen on the Manhattan set of FX's Feud: Capote and the Women. To more accurately represent fashion icon C.

Having been painted by Diego Rivera, Salvador Dale, Kenneth Paul Block, and Andy Warhol, the socialite (born Lucy Douglas Cochrane) was a muse to many.

In July, Martin Mobarak, a Mexican-Lebanese businessman based in Miami, set fire to a $10 million Frida Kahlo sketch as part of a bid to sell 10,000 NFTs of the drawing for $4,000 each. He has sold four so far for less than the asking price, according to the New York Times, and he is now facing criminal charges for burning a national treasure. He could be sentenced to ten years in prison and be compelled to pay the art work. In addition, if the sketch Mobarak burned was fake, he could be charged with fraud. When asked by The New York Times if the fire was accidental, Mobarak was noncommittal. 'I like to say that I don't regret it,' he said.

After reading the extract, the women left Capote and became a social pariah until his death in 1984.
