This is Harry - he is 5 and runs a little honesty shop near to my Saleroom. Someone has stolen his money and his stock. They will probably be too ashamed to return either but if they get to read this I hope it costs them a few nights sleep.

So - a bloke sticks a banana to a wall and sells it for $120,000. Then a “Performance Comedian” takes off the wall and eats it. Gallery gets another banana to replace it and sticks it to the wall. The world is now officially mad.

After my Grandfathers death I found this at the back of a drawer. A wartime equivalent of a photocopy. It was screwed up in an envelope- discarded and to him meaningless - he would never talk about the war - and never took his shirt off to reveal the scars he had from beatings.

Sadly I have decided to close the Saleroom today so the two planned sales for this week will be postponed. In my view this is the right thing to do for my clients - buyers and sellers - and my staff. I will keep you advised when we resume our auction programme.
