What is your favorite autograph in your collection?

Has to be Fletcher Benton. I bought a sculpture of his, a Folded Circle, 2/4, also when I lived in SF. Then, when my first born, Max, reached Bar Mitzvah's age, I asked if I can buy a sculpture from his collection, with a limited budget. He said, I'll make a special one for Max. He became family. Then I have Max Papart, George Noel, Sam Szafran, Priking, Alain Kleinmann, Kriki. Even Donald Trump for a book of mine I sent him. Yeah, fragments of memories.

You can ask anyone living or dead for their autograph. Who would it be?

That's a good question. Moses?
