Here is a list of recent art purchases, all of which have been paid by Leon:
Godfather script from Christie's — 11,875 GBP — paid by Leon
Bloemaert from Daniel Katz Ltd. — 240,000 GBP — paid by Leon
Two Boilly Old Master drawings from Sotheby's — $36,745.31 — paid by Leon
Pontormo from Katrin Bellinger - $8,250,000 — paid by Leon (from the draw down on the Bank of America loan)
von Miens and Rubens from Christie's - $2,284,197.50 - paid by Leon (from part of the draw down on the Bank of America loan)
I’ll send you another email with the rest of the (smaller) purchases, but wanted to get this to you ASAP.

Hi Brad,
In response to your questions about the recent art purchases email below that I sent to Melanie yesterday (and apologies for not copying you on it — I promise I'm going to start remembering to do that!!):
Leon has already been invoiced for these purchases and we have paid for all of them, so it is too late to have Narrows pay, but I can certainly prepare a document signed by Leon that transfers ownership of these works from him to Narrows if you would like. Depending on how much art Leon individually wants to contribute to AP Narrows, however, we may want to leave these works in Leon's name.
Yes, Rich keeps track of all of these purchases, domestic and international, and makes sure that Leon pays use tax when and where appropriate.
Happy to discuss this further with you and Rich at your convenience.
Best,
Heather
Question to JEE so as to clarify
Going forward – which entity should be purchaser for fine art: AP Narrows or Narrows LLC? (You noted Narrows but want to make sure which Narrows entity)
There has been instruction to transfer recent acquisitions from LOB to Narrows
a. Same as #1
b. Should the transfer be complete, ie all acquisitions since Lerner transfer (July 2012) or partial, ie recent acquisitions
c.
