For the captain of industry who has everything, what better gift than a nude portrait made from Financial Times articles about them? For $30,000 and up, artist Natasha Archdale will turn the business rag into the likeness of your loved one, just like she did for the wife of billionaire financier Stephen Schwarzman. The nude portrait was a gift from Iceland's first lady, who tells Bloomberg News she has “yet to meet someone who does not want a naked picture of their loved ones with text about themselves.” It now hangs in Schwarzman's Park Avenue home “between a Rembrandt and a Picasso,” but who knows – maybe Schawarzman can get it installed at the New York Public Library, where his name will soon be emblazoned in five places.
