Dealers and Collectors (Skull), by Henry Pearlman
Some collectors harbor good feelings toward other collectors, and I believe I am one. Not long ago, another collector called me on the telephone, saying that he had just returned from a Zurich gallery and he had seen a wonderful Cézanne watercolor of a skull. As his wife objected to having a skull in their home, and he wasn't going to buy it, he told me the price, and the name of the dealer in Zurich. Based on his description I cabled the dealer in Zurich and told him I was buying the skull, and to ship it on to me, which he did. It is a great watercolor, and I enjoy having it in my collection.
