Hi Miller,
I know you from MARKET WARRIORS. We met at the Palm Beach Art & Jewelry show in 2013. I have a question for u if ever you have the time to answer.
Question: How available are paintings by Henri Edmond Cross? I have a print by him (The Bay of Cavaliere 1906/ 07 I think there are more than one by that name) Mine is the one with bathers in the woods…my research does not see that one listed anywhere.
