Pole Through Picasso Punctures Wynn's Comeback as Art Dealer
- ‘Le Marin’ was punctured in preparation for Christie’s auction
- Billionaire pulled another Picasso from block after incident

Estimated at as much as $135 million, the works were destined to be star lots at the modern and contemporary art sales in New York this week, marketed to his fellow billionaires alongside the collection of Peggy and David Rockefeller.
