CULTURE BUZZ: The larger-than-life British artist made headlines (yet again) this week with a record-breaking auction. By cutting out the middleman (aka his art dealer) and taking his work—cows and sharks in formaldehyde, mostly—directly to Sotheby’s, the guy made $200.7 million in two days, breaking Picasso’s sale record from 1993. Putting animals in goo pays!

CULTURE BUZZ: Photo art made from nothing more than everyday smoke. No one’s ever been a big fan of smoke in general, but with the right lighting and a little help from Photoshop, it’s making a huge comeback.
