{allcanada} Rich artist Kim's new love

Kim Cattrall, best known for her role as sex-crazed Samantha on "Sex and the City," is dating wealthy artist Clifford Ross, sources tell Page Six.

Ross is a visual artist whose landscape and wave photos are housed in several New York museums including the Metropolitan, the Whitney and the Guggenheim. Ross, 60, and Cattrall, 55, made a public outing earlier this month at the Frieze Art Fair and turned up together at last week's Party in the Garden at MoMA.

Ross is currently divorcing his wife, Betsy Finkle Ross. He is the son of the late Arthur Ross, an investment banker and philanthropist who donated heavily to the arts and is the namesake of the Arthur Ross Pinetum in Central Park.

Ross, who is described as "extraordinarily wealthy," grew up on East 72nd Street, and had a weekend house next door to Steven Spielberg on Georgica Pond. Friends say he is also "very low-key," and "private." "He has no agenda with Kim, he's not the type to date a celebrity; he likes her," says one source.

A rep for Cattrall says she and Ross are "just friends." The actress, who recently appeared in the film "Meet Monica Velour," about an aging porn star, has been married three times, with the first, to Larry Davis, annulled. Her second, to Andre J. Lyson , ended in 1989 after seven years. Her most recent marriage, to sound-system specialist Mark Levinson, ended with divorce in 2004. The pair wrote "Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm," together before their split.

Cattrall has also dated Bruce Willis and chef Alan Wyse, whom she was with for more than four years despite a 22-year age difference.

Meanwhile, Cattrall's "SATC" co-star Kristin Davis is also finally having some luck in love. It's been reported that she has been dating Oscar-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin for about a month.
