Title: Antiques Roadshow European Style?
Post by: CliffordK on 27/01/2012 03:28:57

A few years ago an art collector bought this unsigned portrait for $20,000.  Actually, I think purchased by a Canadian in New York.

The painting is now estimated to be worth $100,000,000

Not a bad profit for a scrap of artwork that could fit into a notebook!

I once bought a painting for 35 quid which is now worth bugger all!

Words can hurt, both spoken, and also in writing.

For example, an insulting telegram is a barbed wire.
