You can have the mickey.

I’ll take the $4,600,000 Boldini painting of the owner (who was apparently Boldini’s lover).

Why isn’t it covered in cobwebs?

Nor I. I just read about the auction. The art pulled north of $50,000,000 all in. Pretty good surprise for the grand kids.

There’s no way that place has gone untouched all of these years; there would be cobwebs and dust galore.

The article says that the tenant continued to pay the rent even though she was not living there.

Nah, they love U.S. stuff. In another decade (after the apartment was abandoned) the French will discover Jerry Lewis.

I am thinking that perhaps there was a cleaning lady who came in periodically. Otherwise you would have cobwebs and dust everywhere.
