Gordon Brown chairs a UN meeting on the Millennium Development Goals tomorrow......we 're half way to the date when the targets are supposed to be met, and it's accepted that there's no way many of them will be. Maternal mortality is the issue occupying many people, as the number of mothers dying in childbirth in some countries has actually been going up. More money is needed from governments around the world -but how likely is that given the global economic crisis? So what's to be done.....and do the goals just look like hopeless ideals? British Energy could soon be in French hands after the board of the power giant EDF approved a plan to buy it in a deal thought to be worth £12.4 billion. What's the story behind the deal?

Filed under: Auctions , Art Christie's has announced it will offer one of the two Lucian Freud portraits of Francis Bacon in its Post-War and Contemporary Art auction in London this October. Pilar Ordovas, Christie's Head of Post-War and Contemporary art, calls it an "intimate portrait" that is a testament to the relationship between arguably the two "most important British artists of the 20th century." The piece is estimated to reach bids of up to £7 million, though if last May's sale of Freud's Benefit Supervisor Sleeping is any indication, it might go for more -- that painting sold for $33 million.

Dasha Zhukova is 27, beautiful, and "like, really bad at remembering names” of artists. She's opening the gallery Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Moscow, with the help of her oil-tycoon/Putin crony boyfriend Roman Abramovich's money. (Remember, he's the one who set record art-auction prices last spring for buying a Lucian Freud and a Francis Bacon for $86 and $33 million.) The WSJ ends their profile on her with this puzzling declaration: "It is easy, of course, to see Ms. Zhukova as just another oligarch princess frittering away millions in her quest for social standing and substance. But at least she’s doing something honorable with her money–helping to boost the profile of contemporary art and culture in Russia. It sure beats buying handbags." I guess? Well, somebody needs to prop up the American art-auction market. Everyone's profiling Zhukova this month, trying to figure out if she's actually some kind of idiot art-savant or just a "wealthy diletantte" who "can't name a single artist she likes," as the Guardian put it. We'll save you the time of reading the flurry of profiles and go with that. “I didn’t study art history and don’t remember names of artists,” she told the NYT . Come on, hon, you gotta give us something more to work with. ...
