Robert - As an artist, with degrees in art history and design, I love visiting your blog. I was so excited to see the Richard Avedon "Dovina with the Elephants" photo you featured in an upcoming auction. I have a poster from the High Museum in Atlanta featuring this great Avedon photo (which I found in a junk store fifteen years ago for $12 - framed!). It's not in perfect shape, but it one of my favorite pieces of "art", and one I will always cherish.

Keep feeding my love of the 'best of the best'.
