This next paragraph is a letter written by Ken McCleary, regarding the status of the Pablo Picasso wood sculpture. In regards to the carved wooden sculpture signed Picasso that you obtained from Dr. Kenneth Maier, as you are aware, Dr. Maier had been a long time customer of mine and I had furnished him with 19th century English watercolors, and antique French clocks. I had been a guest at his home many times viewing other items he was considering; as a member of the acquisition committee of the Chicago Art Institute. On one occasion, after he returned from Europe with Mr Arthur Lieberman, he showed me a recent art acquisition that was the same sculpture you showed me. According to Dr. Maier, he had obtained it directly from the artist, Picasso. Kenneth McCleary's background: 25 years ran a monthly antique and art auction at the Drake Hotel, Oakbrook, Illinois. His brother and he helped Warbourough College Oxford Development, a summer antique seminar used by the University of London, and he has taught courses in antiques, and art, at the college level. In 1964 Jean Pinatel, Surte of Police for the city of Paris nominated him for membership in the International Society of Criminology. The sculpture is owned by a Past Master of a Masonic Lodge: Non profit organization. Proceeds of the sale will benefit Children homes, Old people homes, drug and rehabilitation centers, Masonic hospitals, a vast array of people. Thankyou all, and bid with love in your heart ! Clerifying the carbon dated process: this was done to make sure the wood wasn't fresh, just to make sure the wood was at least old wood. Exact date was not possible, but to tell if the wood was old enough, was established correct. : In the future this Sculpture is going to sell for over 200 million dollars, you'll kick yourself for not taking advantage of the chance to buy it now, for 10 million. You wait and see; don't have cramped fingers now. Take advantage of the opportunity, and my mood ! ! !
