    Apparently, there are TWO of these in existence, so it looks like it may have some value, but the signature is indecipherable.
    Googled Brutalist wall plaque, wall art etc. but didn't see anything like.
    Any ideas?
    I'm a fan of Brutalism, but...
    Thanks, guys! IMG_8580.JPG IMG_8569.JPG

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Looks like Lee T. Hisiof?

    Looks like 3 or 4 saguaro cacti/cactuses having a tête-à-tête. At the end of the sig., there might be a date - 71?

    I think it looks like a bunch of one-legged "big heads" talking. :happy:

    And also thought the 71 would be a date.

    Thanks everyone...
    KingofThings, no, don't like!
    My boss saw one by the same artist at another estate she's running.
    IMO, it's not worth looking up, but since it's for an appraisal, have to at least try. Since she knows I have more interest and exposure to Mid Century art, etc. she gave it to me (but I wonder: is this is a test??).
    Anyhoo, I have one more source I can check with.
