While an exercise in meta-viewing might be your first instinct, the real answer is one banner day of publicity for Vienna's Leopold Museum. Previous exhibitions on the theme of nudity have mostly been limited to female nudes. With the presentation "naked men" in the autumn of 2012 the Leopold Museum will be showing a long overdue exhibition on the diverse and changing depictions of naked men from 1800 to the present. It has been a big success. Starting on 23 September it will be shown also in Paris, in the Musée d'Orsay. www.leopoldmuseum.com Be jewelled Entirely handcrafted, ZSISKA is a world leader in resin jewellery.

The bespoke, one-offs feature very rare, perfectly round black pearls sourced from a friend of photographer Daniel Max. "Willy" is the son of a Tahitian pearl farmer and had the pearls in his possession for many years before allowing Nick to use them for these unique, gorgeous pieces. For the larger piece, Nick came up with the idea of the snake swallowing the pearl, Willy loved it and Von K took the pearl to Bali where his best carver spent three days carving the snake head to fit perfectly whilst Von K sat with him to discuss the design. Von K has a valuation certificate valuing the piece at NZ $11,000.
