Lol (and 😭😭😭) at the beautiful things just ending up sitting in a safe owned by a sociopath billionaire! I'm not sure if it's made the news in America but over here there's a huge scandal going on with the British Museum curators secretly selling thousands items from its archive on ebay (ebay!). I was curious if you had any thoughts on that, or like, dubious provenance in the world of auctions and online sales
I would love a print of the winter’s boob. There’s a joke in there about the breast of the new-fallen snow maybe? Idk. I just love that image. The witches’ sabbath is also perfection. Would love to just collect weird fancy art (since now I collect affordable weird art).
Thank you as always for another delightful issue of Dearest.
Beautiful and weird items to look at along with excellent (and sometimes very fun snarky!) comments.
I love your newsletter and can't wait for the October issue!
Take care and stay healthy.
The watch is, indeed, irritating in the extreme
Love this! And that painting belongs in the Louvre!

The blue diamond ring earned an audible, reverently whispered, "ooohhhh," from me.
How does Howard the Duck appear in a 1500's oil on copper Witches Sabbath?
I would happily buy a knockoff of that novelty maiolica ewer of the male harpy snake-bird. So much character!

The blue diamond ring was immediately forwarded to my girlfriends with the phrase “ when he asks”. 🤣. The dreams you suddenly start dreaming, lol!
