Quando si superano i 70 anni, sono tanti i cambiamenti fisici a cui ci si deve abituare: la forza della presa diminuisce, l’equilibrio e la stabilità si riducono e ti ritrovi ad abbandonare le abitudini di sempre. Questo discorso non vale per Brunello Cucinelli, il magnate della moda che, a 71 anni, sembra non avere età.

BEFORE I GET into all the reasons that Ski Portillo in Chile’s Valparaíso region belongs at the top of any adventure-travel bucket list, I want to make one thing clear: there are no chili bread bowls or $25 chicken fingers in the lodge cafeteria. There are also no après-DJs umsk-umsk-umsk-ing in a booth emblazoned with the logo of an unpronounceable vodka, or DMV-long lift lines, or heated (sweaty!) gondolas whisking you to the summit, or a whole lot of clear trail markers once you’re up there.

It also hints that, because of his working methods (especially silk screening) and his casual approach to pieces that were attributed to him, new works often pop up and need to be authenticated, long after Warhol's death.

When I first became tangled up in the issue of Joe Simon and Red Self-Portrait, the Andy Warhol silkscreen he owns, it wasn’t because the Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board denied the painting’s authenticity. What provoked me to act was their refusal to reveal the reasoning behind the decision.
