常玉油畫「五裸女」香港春拍賣刷新華人油畫世界紀錄。

據新浪網報導：5月30日，羅芙奧(香港)舉行了“現代與當代藝術”專場拍賣。在下午的拍賣中，來自常玉的《五裸女》不負眾望，以1.28億港幣（1.07億人民幣）的價格創造了華人油畫價格新紀錄，打破了不久前嘉德拍賣中陳逸飛《山地風》 8165萬人民幣的中國油畫拍場價格紀錄，成為最高價的一幅華人油畫。

華人世界第一張“億元油畫”就這樣誕生了。這件作品以8000萬港幣的價格起拍，經過長達十幾分鐘的喊價，最後，舉368號牌的場內買家獲得了這件作品。

《五裸女》是常玉畢生中最大幅裸女主題油畫，曾在1988年台北市立美術館“中國- 巴黎：早期旅法中國畫家回顧展”中首度曝光，也是陳炎峰編著的《華裔美術選集我，常玉》畫冊封面與封底作品。歷年拍場上常玉作品較多是花卉題材，少有其裸女油畫主題的拍賣。目前已知的常玉裸女油畫不過五十一幅，且多數採臥姿，站姿華麗的“五裸女”極為稀有，這樣一件作品打破記錄也在眾多行家的意料之中。 （來源：新浪網）

中國國土部網站消息: 2011年5月，由於中國三峽水庫加大下泄流量，在入庫流量不足的條件下，有可能加快水位消落的速度，對庫區涉水崩塌滑坡的穩定性產生不利影響。三峽庫區崩塌滑坡共4000餘處，經工程治理的僅為少數。三峽庫區地質災害防治工作指揮部近日發出通知，要求重慶、湖北地質環境監測總站及庫區切實加強水庫消落區和汛期庫區地質災害監測預警工作。
