The Vollard Suite is regarded as one of the greatest print suites, and perhaps the most enigmatic and famous of the twentieth century. Comprising 100 intaglio prints it was made by Pablo Picasso between 1930 and 1937 in Paris and at the Château de Boisgeloup — a country property near Paris the artist acquired in 1930. Although executed over a seven-year period, the majority of the plates date from 1933. This was the year when Modern art dealer and print publisher Ambroise Vollard commissioned Picasso to make the expanded series of 100 plates in exchange for a selection of French Impressionist paintings in Vollard’s private collection. It is thought that Vollard’s original intentions had been to use the works to illustrate a lavish livre d’artiste, and between 1936 and 1937 he enlisted master-printer Roger Lacourière to edition the works in preparation for publication.

Classic speech!! Love it :)

When Jon Bon Jovi considered all the musicians who could induct his band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the name that stood out the most to him wasn't a rock star at all, but the self-proclaimed King of All Media, Howard Stern's.

Prior to the ceremony in Cleveland, Bon Jovi explained why he thought the radio host was a good fit. "Our careers have paralleled in a lot of ways – whether it was the ups or the downs – we've come through everything together and we do this at this point because we love the people we work with," he said on Stern's show. "And the truth is nobody knows not only me but the members of the band as well as Howard."

"I am so honored that you asked me. I am thrilled to do it," the radio host replied to him.

At the big show on Saturday, Stern passionately explained why Bon Jovi belong among the greats in the Rock Hall in his own inimitable way. Here's what he had to say about the long-running band.
