FURTHER DETAILS
Cinque opere scrupolosamente selezionate e ricercate che riaffiorano dal sommerso del collezionismo privato dopo alcuni anni per offrirsi nella loro squisita ricercatezza sul mercato pubblico (lotti 4, 6, 17, 38, 106).

Five carefully selected and refined works that resurface from the depth of private collecting some years after to be offered on the public market in their exquisite sophistication (lots 4, 6, 17, 38, 106).

"Mi chiedo se sia più difficile per 1) un uomo essere un uomo, 2) un uomo essere una donna, 3) una donna essere una donna, o 4) una donna essere un uomo. Non so la risposta, ma guardando tutti i diversi tipi, so che le persone che pensano di fare più fatica sono gli uomini che cercano di essere donne. Fanno due turni. Fanno tutto: pensano a radersi e a non radersi, ad agghindarsi o non agghindarsi, a comprare i vestiti da uomo e da donna. Immagino sia divertente provare a essere di un altro sesso"

"I wonder whether it's harder for 1) a man to be a man, 2) a man to be a woman, 3) a woman to be a woman, or 4) a woman to be a man. I don't really know the answer, but from watching all the different types, I know that people who think they're working the hardest are the men who are trying to be a woman. They do double-time. They do all the things: they think about shaving and not shaving, of primping and not primping, of buying men's clothes and women's clothes. I guess it's interesting to try to be another sex"
