<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Armando0831, post: 28760, member: 305&quot;][ATTACH=full]7149[/ATTACH] I posted a thread about these but I&#039;ve found out more information to post them on this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two electroplated copper on glass art pieces. They are done by an acclaimed artist out of Ft. Smith, AR. I lived there for about 17 years. I found these on a recent visit to see my in-laws. My mom had left boxes of junk at her old house before she moved across the country. Some vandals broke in the house and stole a few things, mainly copper wiring and metal. Thank goodness they didn&#039;t touch anything else.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t know who the artist of these pieces was until I looked him up. I contacted a person,Jim, who is in charge of selling Johns prints. I was informed that&nbsp; John had passed away in 2013. Most of his original works are in private collections, art galleries and museums. I was informed that John didn&#039;t use his hands, due to a disability, he used his teeth to hold the brush. Wow!! That&#039;s truly amazing and very talented.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was given Johns wife&#039;s email address. Upon requesting some info on these pieces, she told me that John had made these when he worked at the glass manufacture company. These were done when he still had use of his hands. The glass company is no longer in business and was told that these were one of kind and the value would be very high. If you look up John Bell Jr. artist in Ft. Smith, AR, you can read his biography. I don&#039;t plan on selling these two.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>These are about 14 inches in diameter.</p><p><br /></p><p>UPDATE: Both pieces are valued at about $3,000 a piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
