...MIREILLE MATHIEU (Barclay). She's 19 years old and sounds like Piaf...
Lost in the shuffle were the prices that other modern works set; most were lower than dealers hoped. A Milton Resnick abstraction brought only $550. A 1948 semiabstract De Kooning brought $9,000. Abstract expressionists won no enthusiasm. A huge Mathieu went for a paltry $5,250. Hartigan hit $3,000 but had a low of $700; Okada hit $2,000, Marca-Relli $3,000.

Later, Adolph Gottlieb and Sculptor David Hare joined the list.

But it is a fact that Kootz has all he can handle with the 15 artists he has, including James Brooks, Marca-Relli, Kyle Morris and Kumi Sugai...
Thank you for your energetic coverage of my remarks on the Channel Tunnel, at Lowell House yesterday evening. One or two small points: Mathieu Favier was not Napoleon's staff sergeant but an eminent engineer. And today's tube and tunnel people are on speaking terms: beyond the Channel, members of the competing groups, both of which consist of highly reputable firms, frequently engage in successful ventures together...
