| comment: | herman de vries wrote in 1992 "i was once in the neighborhood of mouans-sartoux in 1953. then there were forests and olive gardens. now this area is divided into lots of bungalows and villas, a shocking experience. i bought this trunk in a depot of olive trunks that were sold to woodcarvers at 3 francs per kilogram" [fax to Art Affairs, Amsterdam September 28, 1992] |
