Seethe, Pepe, seethe


I only see Sotheby's on this list, no Nola outfit! So OK, no fair: top 10 in any business is basically impossible to achieve (though, for the life of me, I don't see why anyone would fork over $3,346,456 for this pic of some supermarket shelves -- maybe $3, tops?) But how about top 10,000? Is that feasible if you operate in the boonies, instead of London, Paris, or NYC?

Nothing compared to the enduring sickness of Arbus and Mapplethorpe.

That's right -- as far as it goes. The photograph is at least OK, and actually has some interesting "pointillist" feel to it. So OK, I'll say it's worth more than $3, but way less than $3 million. Hey, Pepe, what if I give you $30 for it, do you send me an authenticated print? Fair is fair.
