A painting stolen 20 years ago then found lying in a pile of rubbish on a New York City street could fetch up to $1m (£488,000) at auction next month.
The 1970 painting Tres Personajes (Three People) by Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo was taken from a warehouse where the owners had placed it while moving.
It was found by Elizabeth Gibson as she took her morning walk four years ago on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Sorry you got @!$%#ed by the AP--this didn't come up in Doppelganger when I first checked the frontpage article. Consider this a gesture of my support!
Many thanks! I looked at the AP story just as BBC Radio 4 news was reporting on something I seeded yesterday about finding the sanctuary of Romulus and Remus in Rome - a double whamee :(
I wish that someone would find and buy some of the wonderful art posted by our own resident artists. We have a lot of really keen talent here.
Perhaps we should have a NV cyber art show?
Good catch DJD.
There's a group called ArtGallery for resident artists to post to. I would hope eventually for a way to post or link to larger images. The format we're given isn't always big enough to respect the piece.
That is the problem with cyber art isn't it. Also colours on screens and even contrast can drastically effect a viewing.
Yes, most definitely. But I like looking at the representations anyway! LOL
