<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 4559346, member: 84&quot;]The thrift store I go to every day finally got new art in - and I bought 8 pieces! Included was what appears to be a very old painting of a young girl w/the biggest wooden spacers in the frame on the back!</p><p>I&#039;ve never seen these before, can anyone tell me about them - and any thoughts on painting&#039;s age?</p><p>Also, it isn&#039;t signed, but burned into the frame on the back is: CHAPMAN MADE IN SPAIN - is this the frame maker/company? The artist?</p><p>Another surprise (when I googled it) was a AT&amp;T world headquarters limited edition lithograph that looks like the building&#039;s plans? And the surprise was when I googled it I found 2 that had sold at auction - 1 for $1,000 and 1 for $6,000!!</p><p>I&#039;m guessing it&#039;s because it&#039;s signed by two people who I am assuming were the architects? But Frank Lloyd Wright isn&#039;t one of the names; why is this so valuable - or do I have a different one I&#039;m not realizing? If it is the right one I&#039;m guessing whoever donated it didn&#039;t know what it was either!</p><p>Another one that I haven&#039;t photographed yet is a Ching (?)Dynesty painted tile with the original receipt from Maio on the back with a price of $2,000 - I told my friend the manager of the store that had to be in Yen; and he charged me $40 for it! I want to post that tomorrow &amp; hopefully someone can help me with it - and the description of it on the receipt.</p><p>Thank you for any information!</p><p>PS - On painting below I&#039;m hoping the girl had big ears &amp; it wasn&#039;t the artist&#039;s attempt at a ear since the rest of her was done better (maybe that&#039;s why it wasn&#039;t signed?)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404540[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404541[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404542[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404543[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404544[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404545[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404546[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]404547[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404548[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]404549[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
