In Carmel, we stopped at one of its many art galleries. This was not one of the commercial ones but rather had a show. For much of the work, the artist had taken old magazine pages and then used them as canvas and painted various items on them. On this piece a Barcelona daybed by Mies Van Der Rohe had been painted. This furniture was made for Knoll in the 1960s. We happen to own one. It is among the furniture that we are selling, because when my parent’s house in Monterey sells, there will be no room for it anymore. We have hired a liquidator, TLC.

Justin and Joe from TLC came to the house, checked everything out and began going through all of our stuff. They will return and do a detailed inventory, then eventually, pick everything up and cart it all away to be sold. For this effort they will get half of all the sales. This is a lot and last summer when we first met them it was rather off putting, but this seems to be the way it works. They are quite knowledgeable and should be able to get us top dollar. Plus, this is one less thing that we have to worry about now. Aside what this business calls itself their other oddity is the euphemism that they use to describe creepy items, “dark”.
