Hello and welcome to the Arts and Crafts edition of Slate Money or guide to the Business and finance news of the week. I'm Felix

salmon from Fusion in Miami where Art Basel Miami Beach is happening right now

and we're going to talk about that and the crazy world of

high-end contemporary art and all of the madness that is surrounding me right here.

We will then bring it down a notch and talk about an art market for slightly more normal people

ETSC which is branching out into the wholesale business and we will talk about art in a posthumous sense what has happened to the estate of Morris

Sendak.

We will also, at the end end do our regular lightning numbers round and this week I'm going to tell you up front that my number is the amount of money that you guys, the slate money family family all of us have managed to raise

for Doctors Without Borders I hope you're going to be impressed it is a large
