Art and Death

One of my profs told me that a couple years back an old guy bought the original Starry Night for way more than any other painting has ever been sold for.

Then obviously, since he was old, he died.

In his will, he said he wanted to be cremated with his painting and have his ashes and his painting's ashes buried together.

The Chinese government (I think he was Chinese) said NO! They cremated him but took back his painting.

Not cool, China.
