OLD ART in Postcards 4

Last night George and I were watching ANTIQUES ROADSHOW. One gentleman brought a painting up to the tables. The appraiser who got it was truly passionate in his enthusiasm.

“It is a very early https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Baldessari,” he told the man…who looked vaguely familiar. What’s so funny to me it was a not too good piece, as he had burned them all. How he missed this one, I don’t know. It was in a gallery as a rental piece of $3.00 dollars a month. Now it is worth over $90,000 dollars.

I phoned Bobbie. She and I took life drawing with him at Southwestern college. My ex-husband was one of the helpers who hauled his all work out into the backcountry and helped burn it. Burning his old pieces was the impetus that led him to the foundation of the conceptual art movement. Now days he is judged equal with some of the most notable names of the age. Both Bobbie and I find this really funny.
