May the gods preserve and defend me from self-righteous altruists; I can defend myself from my enemies and my friends.

The Spec | Was the record sale of Da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi a bellwether or a freak show?
Now the hubbub has subsided after last week’s sale of Leonardo’s ‘Salvator Mundi’ at Christie’s New York for $450 million, we can assess whether the record-shattering price was an indicator of an impending turn in the boom-bust cycle or merely an extreme example of art market operators conspiring to ease the burden of the super-rich.
