The Hergé Museum has officially opened in Louvain-la-Neuve, a small town near Brussels, Belgium. The museum is dedicated to the work of Hergé (Georges Remi), who created the Tintin comic-books.

The hero of the series is Tintin, a young Belgian reporter. He is aided in his adventures from the beginning by his faithful fox terrier dog Milou (Snowy in English).

The first adventure was published in 1929. Over 200 million copies have been sold worldwide. Even today Tintin and Snowy are making waves in recently translated Chinese copies in Asia.

A painting by Chinese artist Sanyu fetched a record HK$42.1 ($5.4 million) at a Hong Kong auction as bidders fought for lots, betting that the worst of Asia’s art-market slump is over.

Of the 38 lots offered last week at Christie’s International’s top selection of Asian art, 34 sold, raising a combined HK$181.7 million, according to the London-based auction house.

That’s about twice the company’s presale estimate, said Kate Malin, a Christie’s spokeswoman.

For two days Elena Gregusova’s “Wear the News” collection will be exhibited at the Financial Times “Business of Luxury Summit” in the famous Salle des Etoiles in the Sporting Monte-Carlo.

The outstanding collection of six haute couture sculptures created exclusively from Financial Times newspaper represent Elena’s artistic transformation of recycled newspaper into extraordinary luxury wearable paper sculptures.

These photographs were all taken by Gregusova’s talented husband Martin Gregus. Website

Christian Louboutin has entrusted his latest ad campaign to photographer Peter Lippmann, one of the most famous still life photographers.

Each shoe was impeccably interpreted in photos that emulate classic still life pieces from the 18th century.

The Push Button House from architect/artist Adam Kalkin was originally displayed at Art Basel Miami in 2005.

The Push Button House is exactly that: it starts as a shipping container until a button is pushed, and it turns into a house.

Until May 17th, the luxury chic supermarket of Paris, La Grande Epicerie, hosts 14 photographs by Fulvio Bonavia.

The artist amused himself by turning upside down fashion accessories in a gourmet way.

The handbag is made in raspberries, the belt with sardines, artichokes on the cap, the ring is full of Bayonne ham and the watch is a kiwi!
