Re: This made me laugh
Talking about Drawings and Paintings a story true. I was repairing a Lead roof above a place in London, where the guy Alan repaired paintings for the Royal Academy and British Museum, He was well connected. One day He asked to borrow money to buy some Modilianes Jewish Painter. I would get my money back plus 5% profit, so I helped him out within a week I got my money. Three weeks later He approaches me with this painting a Renoir called A Girl in Repose, He was doing me a favour bcause I had helped Him, £55,000, I had it but at the time thought no its pushing it a bit, thanked Him and left, Him telling me that I was a fool not to take it as it was worth fortunes. that was 77 or 78. Now for the good bit, It was auctioned at Sotherbys in New York in 94 for 17 1/2 million smackers, what a Fucking idiot.
