Friday
Quick visit to Galerie Yves Laroche:
Mainly 'Juxtapose-y' like crap, real bric-a-brac, but just behind the glass door to the private showroom, on the floor leaning against the wall, in the half-dark like a hustler, a Francis Bacon lithograph of two fleshy figures writhing, # 45 / 60.
Next door at Lacerte, a stunning Edmund Alleyn gouache from 1962, "Untitled",($9 800). Matted & framed beautifully. Clearly from his "Indian Summer" days. A knock-out of a piece.

"Every true artist creates new values, new beauty...When you notice anarchy, recklessness, or licentiousness in works of contemporary art, when you notice crass coarseness and brutality, then occupy yourself long and painstakingly precisely with these works, and you will suddenly recognize how the seeming recklessness transforms itself into freedom, the coarseness into high refinements. Harmless pictures are seldom worth anything.
