Long Lines and Scalpers: Rock Star? No, Leonardo

By Carol Vogel, The NY Times, December 4, 2011


The article is about how Alexander McQueen and Leonardo da Vinci have more in common then one would assume. Both are icons in the arts world. During this year, an exhibit for each of them as been the most popular tourist attractions. Tickets for these exhibits went from $25 to $400. Though the nice thing about both exhibits is that the museum directors make sure that a good amount of people can get it and appreciate the art.
This is newsworthy because it is interesting to know how two men who are 5 centuries apart have the same amount of impact and influence on others. This just goes to show how much one person can impact others. It also shows how art will be around for eternities.
