The sheer number of artworks I'm finding that include pipes is truly amazing to me. Not just the numbers but the variety and the continuous quality is surprising and a continuous source of joy. Plus I get to see some amazing pieces that are in the same auctions as the pipe works posted. Not only artworks but stuff like George Washington's personal annotated copy of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, or the amazing Czech glass up for auction in Prague, or a collection of Calder sculpture.

I live in constant awe and amazement, continuously taught and entertained.

Thanks for looking. I'll continue with two in the morning and two in the evening as long as I find them at the rate I am now. The next couple of weeks are all from Christy's auctions. Needless to say these auctions contain some amazing stuff.
