While trying to see where that Glenn Ligon Condition Report came from, I was lowkey surprised to see it had not been considered part of the Monsoon Art Collection, though the two other, larger Ligon works are. I was also midkey surprised to see the Monsoon Art Collection is still online, as if it wasn’t all being liquidated at Christie’s this week.

Well, almost all. I was highkey surprised that David Hammons’ African American Flag (1990) was A) in the collection, and B) not being sold with everything else. But reading Peter Simon’s quote above, I guess he just couldn’t bear to part with it.
