Trivial...

You may think this is a nonsense subject, but you have to live with the fact that we like to zoom in on strange details now and then... Like the surface of Christies' auction table that was used last weekend during the auction at Palace Het Loo. Think of the stories and fortunes that are related with every single dent in this piece of wood. Picasso's, Ming vases, Victorian estates, Norton Commanders, Gipsy Moth aeroplanes, Ferraris, Benzes. One after another reduced to a small, sometimes slightly deeper dent. For sure the most recent pothole was created when the out of focus 1936 Bugatti T 57 Atalante in the foreground sold at 558,250 Euros (all-in). Probably an alltime record for a vintage automobile in the car-auction hostile Low Lands where even Ebay.com has a hard time to survive... (photo by editor)
