This is my Magritte. "Le Chemin du Ciel (The Road to Heaven)," 1957. 50x60cm.

It is not an original. It is not signed or numbered. However, it is stamped "Galerie Alexandre Iolas 1957". Iolas was Magritte's gallarist at the time.

I paid a couple hundred dollars for it in like 2001. I had no idea what it was at the time. I still don't, really. It may be worth less than I paid for it. It may not.

It's not a well-known Magritte these days (I've shown it to fans who have never heard of it), perhaps because the original hangs in the Museum of Contemporary art, Tehran.
