I will speak to the owner tomorrow about price negotiations on your behalf.? Before I sit down with him, where do you stand on price?? It is important I have this information, so I can take this to the owner on your behalf. I must mention we stand behind all our artworks. All artworks are authenticated and qualified with a condition report.? In fact, each artwork comes with an authenticity signed by the owner.? Also if you have any questions you are always welcome to speak to the owner or our Director of Rare and Fine Prints about the art historical and physical nature of the work. If this artwork is priced somewhere else for much less one may question the condition or various other factors of the artwork. Look forward to hearing form you.

I am in Tokyo and my next destination may change due to business events in the middle east. I am very interested in acquiring Blue note, however,? I do want to know more about the price.? I was close to locating one via a gallery via ebay for a lot less.? Also, your price was $4,500 for the same piece framed.? Is there room on the price if I give you a firm commitment.? The ebay price is significantly discounted but they are not ready to close the deal yet either.? If you can't get them down on the price,? it is worth me chasing down the other option for a while. Please let me know via email and I will attempt to be responsive via odd time zones. Thanks, mike "Virginia E.

Re: Lichtenstein's Blue Note Dear Mike: Glad to hear from you. The Lichtenstein "Composition No. 4" is exactly like the one you saw except that it would be a different number in the signed and numbered edition. The price is $4,500.00.? That is unframed.? We can frame the artwork like the Liechtenstein you saw here or if you prefer like the Matisse.? You have that option. I will contact the owner and send you an image either by e-mail or by mail. The window of opportunity to acquire the artwork is limited. I would love to talk to you personally about the Matisse "Icarus" artwork. When would be the best time to contact you and Chris? As I mentioned to you this artwork is hard to find and cannot be easily replaced.? Please keep in mind that several of our consultants are working with clients and galleries to place this artwork.? I mention this only to encourage to contact me if you have serious interest in adding this artwork to your collection. I look forward to hearing from you tomorrow.

Is the #4 the same as the one you had in the gallery? What is the price and what does the frame look like?? Do you have a picture or could you put it on your website? I am still interested in the Matisse but Chris isn't so sure.? We are still thinking about that one. Thanks, Mike "Virginia E.
