Whoops - I was a bit trigger happy with the keyboard there.
Of course I meant over 8 times the price.
Even so that frame must be very valiuable! |

Paulus,
Just a reminder of the following extract from the Guidelines:
"You must not use the Forum to provide publicity for Auctions: posts relating to Auctions will be deleted except where they are intended solely for the raising of funds intended exclusively for LAShTAL.COM."
I have edited your post to remove the link. The thread remains unlocked as it raises some interesting questions. |

Interesting indeed Paul.
As I have recently offered the piece at what I would regard as a fair market value, I won't comment on the price.
I can say that the theory of Spare using his blood to colour a drawing is highly imaginative, but unlikely. Discoloration of this type is usually due to 'foxing' - essentially the oxidisation of iron particles in paper. Of course, blood contains iron, but that's about as close as it gets...

One thing to name a price, quite another to achieve it.
As Bazelek says, a highly sanguine view of foxing. I have a 1952 sketchbook by Spare, one page of which is marred by what may or may not be blood; and if it is, it may or may not be Spare's. I'll start weaving my fantasy now, ahead of a putative sale.
