Kuli-Kuta

The Kuli-Kuta Dance, an 1926 painting by Alexander Yakovlev 

His piece entitled The Kuli-Kuta Dance, Niamey, inspired by a colourful and raucous crowd encountered by the explorers in the Niger's largest city, sold for £937,250 (with buyer's premium) from "an important US private collection."

Another highlight was Alexei Petrovich Bogoliubov's 1867 painting, The Eve of the Celebration, Santa Maria Della Salute, Venice.

The oil on canvas, signed in Latin, comfortably exceeded its £600,000 high pre-sale estimate to bring a final price of £881,250 (with buyer's premium).

Some men swim the sea,
Some men fly above the sky:
They are what they must be.
But, baby the rain must fall,
Baby, the wind must blow,
Wherever my heart leads me
Baby, I must go, baby I must go.

Amaaaaaazing really..oooooh



I do not love for silver,
Ido not love for gold,
My heart is mine to give away,
It never will be sold

.

So, baby the rain must fall,
Baby, the wind must blow,
Wherever my heart leads me
Baby I must go, baby i must go.

by John McCarthy

I am not rich or famous:
But who can ever tell?
I don't know now what waits for me
Maybe heaven, maybe hell.
Baby, the rain must fall,
Baby, the wind must blow,
Wherever my heart leads me
Baby I must go, baby I must go.
