Although neither the seller nor the buyer, both private and tight-lipped, want to comment on the sale, the $140 million price tag that was attached to a Jackson Pollock paining last week makes it the most expensive piece of artwork in history. The painting, which was done on fiberboard, is titled "No. 5, 1948" and measures 4-feet 8-inches in height. David Geffen reportedly it sold to the "obsessively private" Mexican financier David Martinez through Sotheby's. The NY Times speculates that, as Geffen just sold off two other very expensive paintings in the last few weeks, he may be trying to raise money for a bid to purchase the LA Times.

Eclipse color-changing wall paint could convert anyone who thinks that paint is not as interesting as 3D wallpaper or wall flats for decorating the home. The paint changes color from dark to light when it is touched or otherwise exposed to heat. It can be applied as a single coat to add dimension to existing colors, such as the purple pictured here, or it can be applied alone, creating a black-to-white effect. The company that makes the paint says that it will "transform your wall info an interactive show piece." You can see a demo of someone pressing their face against the wall - in the event that is the sort of thing you would like to do with your "show piece" - here. 

I haven't painted a room in quite some time, but something tells me that, priced at $349 a gallon, Eclipse is at the high end of the market.

Wallpaper is the new... paint? Instead of leaving walls as solid colors, no matter how bright the color choices are, more and more people are opting to give their homes a further degree of interest with wallpaper. There are an almost unlimited number of patterns to choose from, but for a really unique look, textured paper is the way to go. MioCulture's V2 3D Wallpaper can give a room more than just the appearance of texture. The wallpaper comes in square "tiles" that are made out of 100% recycled paper. The pattern on the tiles extends 2.5-in. from the wall at its highest point and, by varying the tile positions, you can create a fantastic array of designs that will please the eye and "interact with space around you." Each tile is 12x12-in and they are sold in packages of 12 for $28.
