Francis Bacon 1972 Self-Portrait

One of Francis Bacon's most significant self-portraits heads to auction, expected to sell for up to $16,400,000. Bacon painted it shortly after the death of his partner George Dyer, an East End petty criminal who became his lover, principal model, and greatest muse. With close friends dying around him, Bacon increasingly turned the brush on himself, famously remarking that people had been "dying around me like flies" and that he had "nobody else left to paint but myself." The 1972 oil on canvas was originally gifted to the artist's doctor, Paul Brass, who treated him following a violent altercation in Soho.

Hurley x Levelwear Golf Collection

Golf's shift from rigid tradition to cultural crossover sets the stage for the Hurley x Levelwear collaboration. Bringing together Hurley's surf-and-skate heritage with Levelwear's modern performance approach, the limited-edition collection reimagines golf apparel for players who treat the course as a place for self-expression as much as competition. Contemporary silhouettes are built with sustainable materials and athletic cuts, designed to perform during a round and carry easily into everyday wear. Hawaiian-inspired prints nod to Hurley's roots, adding color and character without losing technical credibility. It's a lineup made for a new generation of golfers who see style, sport, and community as inseparable.

Urban Armor Gear iPad Cases

Urban Armor Gear's latest lineup of iPad cases treats Apple's tablets like the tools they actually are. Designed for the 2025 iPad Pro, iPad, and iPad Air, the Scout Plus, Plyo LT Folio, and Metropolis SE Folio each balance protection, usability, and restraint without drifting into overbuilt bulk. The Scout Plus keeps things light and rugged with TPU construction, corner impact protection, and a built-in kickstand that makes hands-free work or streaming effortless. Plyo LT Folio strips the idea down to clean lines and smart details, pairing an armor shell with a soft impact core, integrated kickstand, Apple Pencil storage, and subtle customization via interchangeable camera rings. At the top end, the Metropolis SE Folio blends business polish with military-grade drop protection, adding a multi-angle kickstand and refined color options that feel equally at home in meetings or on the move. It's a modular approach to protection that respects how iPads are actually used day to day.
