Always looking to be surprised by idiosyncratic, accidental, impromptu, mysterious and raw imagery found in art, architecture, antiques and photographs
I was particularly surprised at the price for the Daniel Rose Bottle Whimsey at $5,200! That seemed a bit crazy. Compare that to the $5,500 achieved for the incredible ex-Greenspon Jesuit figure. Damn I wanted that piece...
