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.
