After a Hitler doll sold for $17 million Sunday night, what more can we say? That being said, these were a few of the paintings we liked and were able to photograph in the short time before the staff gestapo at Christie's hustled all previewers out to hasten their bundesbidding Sunday nicht.

Perhaps torches would have set the right ambiance before Adolph hit the block. They can cash their cheque for $17 million, but the idea of that as art is so revolting we don't want to reward it here with anymore words than it has already received.
