Tom’s new “TOPPER”

Victorian and very “wooly”……….as seen with Picasso’s  “BOY with PIPE”

Pablo painted this canvas when he was only 24.  The boy is “ little Louis”…….a street child who became friends with Picasso.

The canvas was last sold at auction for $105 million.

I went on a POSTER buying binge.

Manhattan Arts and Antique Center was having a sale today.  I bit the bullet and bought 12.  Here are six from the PARIS 1900 Exhibition

I have NO wall space available so I will stack them in my cabinets where the other 50,000 pieces of art are stored.
