Five art facts to drop at your next dinner party 🎨

From painters grinding up actual Egyptian mummies to make a pigment called mummy brown (production only stopped last century when they ran out of mummies), to Rothko taking one look at the Four Seasons and walking out on the biggest commission in history.

Also, the Hockney that went from $18,000 to $90.3 million, the only work Michelangelo ever signed and the time Steve Wynn put his elbow through a Picasso the day before selling it.

Save this for your next dinner party.
