Hi again  All

I never intended for this   string to  go on  so long, but it  seems  to have  sparked a lot  of  interest, which is   GREAT !

Bottom  line  :   there's  still -  always  will  be -  amazing opportunities   in   Very Modern  IPBs  ( let's  call them  "VMIPB" s  for   short,   meaning  anything painted  post  2000)  

I never   forget my  Spider  bottle which   I  bought  for a  song and  a  dance   a few  years  ago   in  SH  at  Ms  Wang's  original   shop  in the  Yu Gardens   shopping  arcade   before   she  was   was  forced to  move out.    Anyone  -  I  mean  ANYONE -  could see it  was the  work of a genius.   And  I remember  enthusing    to Bill  about  that  bottle.

I still  love that  bottle, and  it  has  pride  of  place  in my  collection.   It's  unique.  THE  best   spider bottle  ever  painted.

The  artist,  Zhang  Limin   aka  Spiderman  aka   Rui  Zi  aka  Yu Ran    aka  Jiang Hua  aka  Xiao Xi     is   an  up-coming  star,  whatever the  plethora  of names  he  has  used   so far  .    I have  in  front of  me  an  exquiste   peacock   painting  by him that  I  begrudged  paying  RMB4,000  for  at  Yantai  in  9.2009,    but  for  which I would  now  happily pay  twice that .

So....  come to  China  !  Bentley's  conducted   Hengshui   tours  ( very)  Ltd   will   take  off in 2013.    Get  yourself to Beijing and  the  rest  leave up to me.  

Cheers   Peter
