Arthur Sasse, $74.324
On Einstein’s 72nd birthday in 1951, photographer Arthur Sasse was trying to persuade him to smile for the camera, but having smiled for photographers many times that day, Einstein stuck out his tongue instead. This photo became one of the most popular photos ever taken of Einstein and it is well recognized in popular culture, often used in merchandise depicting Einstein in a lighthearted sense. On June 19, 2009, the photograph was sold at auction for $74,324, a record for an Einstein picture.
Some schools such as Panamericana Escola de Arte e Design offer enrollee test papers full with small circles or lines. Almap BBDO made ads from several of those papers. The key question is: How far does your creativity go?
Hitler is known for being one of the most evil and murderous leaders in history. Yet few people know that he also produced a large amount of paintings, focusing on flowers, country sides and cathedrals.
Adolf Hitler, failed dictator of Germany during the Second World War, produced a variety of oil and watercolor paintings. In addition to being responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people, including the genocide of six million Jews, Hitler was an artist who used cathedrals and flowers as subject matter for many of his paintings.
Art is everywhere around us. Today humans are limited by almost nothing in their expression of world vision. Here is a selection of unusual sudden works. However the selection’ list is very subjective and if you know other worth works and authors, you’re welcome to comment! Chakaia Booker

Chaikaia Booker currently works and resides in New York City. She creates a wearable sculpture in response to the materials which she uses in her current work. Booker began to create work from discarded materials which she found at conduction sites. These found materials each had its own purpose, history, and use which she finds interesting. This search for discarded materials brings us to the “rubber tire” from which her most notorious work is created.
Chakaia Booker began working with rubber tires in the early 1990’s and presently continues to work in this medium. The rubber and tires were transformed into fluid materials giving them a new life and energy. The tires represented metaphors which satisfied aesthetic, political, and economic concerns.
In collaboration with nano scientists Dr. Zhengwei Pan and his research group at the University of Georgia, I have created a new series of work called “innerspace”. These micrograph images are taken directly from their theoretical lab samples. While the scientists observe the nano structures as objects, I am approaching them as subjects and discovering new micro and macro relationships.
