The Young and the Restless Spoilers, June 16 Episode: Victor Hides Dumas' Identity, How Will Adam Act Out?
The Young and the Restless spoilers for Monday, June 16, reveal tension building on Dumas' luxury train ride as Victor Newman continues to hide what he knows. Sharon, Nick, Victor, and Nikki are all traveling to Dumas' chateau, and Sharon is immediately uneasy. After several recent drugging incidents, she's hesitant to touch the onboard food or drinks. Nikki's joke about poison only adds to Sharon's anxiety, though Nick convinces her to enjoy a glass of Champagne. Victor seems irritated by Aristotle Dumas quoting The Count of Monte Cristo, mocking his mysterious persona. As the group settles in, Nikki begins to suspect that Victor already knows more than he's letting on about Dumas' true identity. Victor gives vague answers, hinting that he may be keeping secrets about Dumas' intentions. Later, Billy Abbott and Sally Spectra board the train. Victor reluctantly greets Billy and privately calls him a 'pawn' in Dumas' larger scheme. Billy, however, warns that Dumas' interest in Chancellor could be a threat to Victor himself. Victor doesn't seem concerned, suggesting instead that Billy will only make a fool of himself on this trip. Victor's odd remarks only increase Nikki's suspicions. When she asks if they'll be upset or shocked by Dumas' identity reveal, Victor avoids giving a straight answer. Meanwhile, Dumas is shown watching his guests through video surveillance, quietly saying, 'It won't be long now.'

SA-born Marlene Dumas breaks global record with R245 million painting sale
Warning: Artistic Nudity — This article includes artwork containing nudity. Viewer discretion is advised. South African-born artist Marlene Dumas has shattered a global auction record after her 1997 painting Miss January sold for a jaw-dropping $13.6 million — more than R245 million. The sale took place at a Christie's auction held at the Rockefeller Centre in New York, with the event also streamed live on Instagram and YouTube. Dumas' painting currently holds the record for the most expensive painting ever sold by a living woman artist. She surpassed the previous record held by British painter Jenny Saville, whose 1992 work Propped sold for £9.5 million (R228 million) at Sotheby's in London in 2018. However, while Miss January sets a new benchmark for living female artists, Dumas still trails behind top-selling male artists like Jeff Koons, whose sculpture Rabbit (1986) sold for a staggering $91.07 million (R1.65 billion) in 2019. ALSO READ: April art auction: Expressions of labour, form Marlene Dumas' 'magnum opus' Christie's Deputy Chairman of Post-War and Contemporary Art, Sara Friedlander, described Miss January as Dumas' 'magnum opus'. 'In this painting, Dumas triumphantly demonstrates a formal mastery of the woman's body while simultaneously freeing it from a tradition of subjection, upending normalised concepts of the female nude through the lens of a male-centric history,' Friedlander said in a post-auction statement. Born in Cape Town in 1953, Dumas has lived in Amsterdam since 1976 and continues to exhibit her work at the Galleria Paul Andriesse, where she debuted in 1977. She represented the Netherlands at the 1995 Venice Biennale and was featured in the central exhibition space of the Biennale again in 2015. Her long list of accolades includes the Düsseldorf Art Prize (2007), the Rolf Schock Prize in Visual Arts (2011), the Johannes Vermeer Award (2012), and the Hans Theo Richter Prize for Drawing and Graphic Art (2017).

SA-born artist Marlene Dumas breaks record with R246m sale
A 1997 art piece painted by South African-born artist Marlene Dumas has sold for more than R230m at Christie's New York, setting a new benchmark for female artists in the 21st century art market. Dumas' provocative 2.74m-tall oil painting Miss January sold for a staggering $13.635m (R246.7m) on Wednesday, setting a new world record for a living female artist. The monumental portrait, a striking image of a blonde woman nude from the waist down, captivated collectors during the 21st Century Evening Sale held via Instagram Live and YouTube. Auctioneer Yü-Ge Wang, associate director and senior client adviser at Christie's, led the sale which saw fierce bidding and ultimately achieved a total of $96.5m (R1.75bn). An impressive 92% of lots were sold by number and 97% by value, with four artists breaking auction records: Louis Fratino, Simone Leigh, Emma McIntyre and Dumas. Dumas' record surpasses the previous benchmark held by British painter Jenny Saville, whose work Propped (1992) sold for £9.5m (R228m) at Sotheby's London in 2018. Despite this groundbreaking achievement, Dumas' sale still trails the record for a living male artist Jeff Koons' Rabbit (1986), which sold for $91.07m (R1.65bn) in 2019. Christie's reflected on Dumas' evolution as an artist, stating: 'Dumas started exploring and scrutinising the female form at age 10, with a drawing called Miss World' which depicted idolised glamour models. More than 30 years later, she returned to the subject with Miss January, a portrait that threads the line between revealing and concealing, and serves as perhaps the best example of her influential female portraiture.' Born in Cape Town in 1953, Dumas is based in the Netherlands, where she represented the country at the 1995 Venice Biennale and was later featured in the central pavilion in 2015.
