Pera Museum presents a new exhibition, "And Now The Good News," bringing together a comprehensive selection of works from the Annette and Peter Nobel Collection.

The exhibition focuses on the dialogue between art and the mass media, taking the invention of the printing press in the late 18th century and the formation of periodic journalism in the 19th century as a starting point.

A canvas by Vincent van Gogh fetched $81.3 million in an auction at Christie's Monday.

A stunning 1881 masterpiece by Edouard Manet sold for $65 million at auction in New York on Nov. 5, a record for a work by the French impressionist artist.
      
"Le Printemps," which the auction house Christie's had valued at $25-30 million, depicts a famous actress of the day and was exhibited in 1882 to critical acclaim while Manet was one of the most famous living artists.
