	Lockwood Thompson [1901-1992], Cleveland, OH, bequest to the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
	date: by 1979-1992
	footnotes: 	
			
			* <div><!--block-->Thompson may have purchased the work directly from the gallery since he frequently bought from Paris and London galleries -- Galerie Jeanne Bucher owned other works by Tanguy as late as 1963 (according to Kay Sage's catalogue raisonné of that year); since the Cleveland drawing does not appear in the 1963 catalogue, Thompson may have owned it by that time, unbeknown to Tanguy's wife, Kay Sage.</div>
