Can anyone tell me if a catalog was issued for the recent auction in
Beijing of the works of art connected with the Cultural Revolution?  My
major dealers of asian books and catalogs don't have a record of this.

Any responses appreciated,

Lee

My answer to this is:

I think your major dealers of Asian books and catalogs are not worth their
salt. Had you asked me I would have informed you that the sale was held at
the China Guardian Auction in Beijing. Also, I believe you refer to the
sale of Mao Memoriabilia rather than Cultural Revolution specifically.

Furthermore, since I will be in Beijing in mid November, on my regular
buying trip, I can volunteer to try and get you a copy of the catalogue (I
only have my personal copy), and also for any one else who would like one.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

With many thanks and kind regards.

Yours sincerely,
