((((( Yikes )))))  WHO CUT THE CHEESE ??​

A cheese vendor on Rue de Seine boasting the STRONGEST versions ever!  As you pass by, pungent wedges are growling and assaulting the senses.

​

(Galerie Jean-Baptiste Bacquart)  The "most important"  Oceanic/ Polynesian objects were in his exhibit.  These high caliber pieces were part of the collection of noted deceased Qatari Seikh Saud Al-Thani.

(Seikh Saud bin Muhammed Al-Thani, 1966-2014) The biggest art collector of our time.

Galerie Jean-Baptiste Bacquart

(Galerie Jean-Baptiste Bacquart) Maori peipei ritual object.

(Exterior Galerie Jean-Baptiste Bacquart) The guy on the left providing security as the crowds and interest in his gallery quickly expanded.

(Galerie Jean-Baptiste Bacquart)  Notice the rare PNG Torres Strait shell mask (upper left)

(Jean-Baptiste Bacquart) standing next to a very early war canoe prow.  Its rare and unusual to see a piece of this age and quality on the market.  Many dealers, including me, were quite shocked and envious when seeing he had possession of Seikh Saud Al-Thani's material.
​

(Exterior window display) It might be hard to guess whose gallery this is?  I'll tell you it is Alan de Monbrison.  Based on his reputation, I found this surprisingly average for such a prestigious African gallery.  Nice clubs but unimpactful for a window display to draw in customers in my view.  I was declined a request to photograph pieces inside the gallery, since I would be publishing on a blog.
