Dynamic Larsen Art Auction will be part of the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships at WestWorld on October 24th

 

(SCOTTSDALE)Larsen Gallery, a national leader in the secondary art market for more than 20 years, has added exceptional Picasso etching “Minotaure Aveugle Guide pare ne Fellett dans la Nuit” (translation: Blind Minotaur Guided by a Young Girl in the Night) to the 2015 Larsen Art Auction, taking place at WestWorld as a part of the 5th Annual Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships: Horses & Horsepower on October 24.
