Other than the Francis bacon’s Bullfight and a rare 710-year-old copy of the Magna Carta, up for auction at Sothbey’s will be a nearly 9-foot-tall, stainless- steel heart by Jeff Koons. Valued at about $20 million, it could set an auction record for a living artist at Sotheby’s contemporary art sale on Nov. 14 in New York.

Currently, the record is with Damien Hirst’s Lullaby Spring, a 2002 pill-cabinet sculpture that went for $19.3 million. It took 15 workers nearly 14 hours to dangle Koons’s lustrous pink heart from the ceiling. If you are taking it for lightweight, you are mistaken as this lovely heart weighs 3,500 pounds (1,600 kilograms). The “Hanging Heart (Magenta Gold),” from the Celebration series, is touching. I know you have heaps of money lying here and there. Don’t you think it’s the just right thing to impress your gal?

Shiny black patent leather is accented with slick silver details and wrapped up beautifully with a wide buckled belt. And those handles with their super-sized hinged hardware really stand out.

More silver-tone hardware adorns each side of the bag in the form of logo-engraved plates. The top zips both ways with patent leather pulls and the interior is softened up with a purple floral print. $2792.

Like our pals at Autoblog we are a bit mystified as to why this phone has a Ferrari gear gate on it but it does look cool. The latest phone from Vertu is the Vertu Ascenti Ferrari 60.

The phone is titanium and covered in Ferrari leather which can be replaced as needed through Vertu’s service package that includes a free checkup every six months as well as the other features standard with Vertu phones such as their concierge service. There are just 60 of the phones available and they sell for $25,000.

We were among the first ones to introduce you to the gold plated MacBook Pro from Computer Choppers. They are building a one-off unit. Moreover, they offer a wide range of customizing for the laptops other than the Apple logo. Price varies as every logo customization is different. Anyway, it costs between $1200 and $1500 to 24kt gold plate a MacBook Pro. Now, they have shown some more images (check out the complete picture gallery).

The new picture is the display housing Apple logo and paint matched keyboard. They even claim that you might not have seen such a paint matched/re-etched MBP keyboard before. Their next project will probably be a 24-inch aluminum iMac.
