Nana Biography

No, not a new artist, but other works by these artists.

That aren’t available to everybody.

Well, they’re available, but sometimes you aren’t there at the right time. For instance, Jon left to go to this auction, because we got the catalog, and he looked at it last weekend and said this was the most beautiful Sam Francis I’ve ever seen. It was illustrated in the catalog and it’s going to be auctioned. The auction estimate – the high part of the estimate was less than we were prepared to pay, we were going to go more. Well, he got the plane to go, because that would be a lovely thing to have. 1953, really beautiful, sort of the style, you know, we bought two in London, which will be picking up. Well, that’s what I mean. When we first went in business, we had $50 prints, I’m trying to get …

Upgraded.

Yes.

There are times when something spectacular happens?

Well, you never know. There are some nice things like that. I’m going to take that with me, will sell that.  Most people don’t recognize that or know what it is, but it’s a lovely watercolor. It’s 92, this was done in 1924.

OK, let me ask you another question. Is there anything that happened that you sort of regret or you would do otherwise?

Yes, oh gosh, there are many little things, I suppose. I think I was not very fair with the beau of mine that I went and ran around with after I met Don, and I went back and I was never totally honest with him, and I think if I were to do it again, I would be. I just didn’t have the guts to do it.

Well, it’s a tough situation.
