Controversy Surrounding $450 Million Da Vinci Getting Nasty

Description

AP Photo/Julie Jacobson Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" became the most expensive painting ever after it sold for $450 million at auction. The former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Thomas Campbell, is fighting on Instagram with Robert Simon, a previous co-owner of the painting, over its sale. It's reflective of how much marketing and social media has come to dominate the art world. There are also legitimate concerns over how to conserve the painting, which is hard to do without a museum.
