Over last few yrs,
Robert Mnuchin
has been having trouble walking.
This year, he skipped Art Basel in Switzerland
4 first time in about 2 decades!
So people were really happy
2 see him back out on Wed,
playing role in
what was arguably,
most *exciting sale of week.

Robert Mnuchin
finds moments like Koons auction,
parallel 2 his previous career in trading.
Had Steven A. Cohen's
usual art adviser,
Sandy Heller
sat in the gallery doing the bidding,
it would immediately have
drawn attention to Mr. Cohen.
