30 years ago, i was with a friend, shopping for Tiffany Lamps at LILLIAN NASSAU, in New York......my friend mentioned a friend, Neil Isman, who had a gallery nearby......So, we went to Neil's Gallery.....He told me that he was "thinning our" his inventory and wanted to rid himself of decorative art that he did not consider particularily important....
We went into a back room, where Neil brought out a stack of Louis Icart prints, signed, and bearing the Paris "windmill mark"......I purhased all of them for $135/EA.....a good deal, even then......Within days of returning home, I had sold "SMOKE",
"COURSING II" and a handfull of others for more than I had paid for them all......Over the years, I have relinquished all but one of the prints........They are lovely boudoir art.........
