<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4421612, member: 84"]I saw these big (2 largest are 38.5" x 33.5") sports paintings coming off the truck at a local thrift store and my first thought was Roy Lichtenstein (I know, I know! - it was the tennis player I saw first & Lichtenstein was my 1st thought!). They was dust on all of them & it was obvious they'd been in storage a long time.</p><p>My friend who is the manager said he wanted $75 each but agreed to $200 for the 3.</p><p>I didn't realize until I got home that there were 2 different signatures among the 3 - I just assumed they were by the same artist because they came in together & looked so similar.</p><p>Has anyone seen anything by either of these artists? Could they be by the same artist who maybe got married & changed part of their name?</p><p>It seems unusual for such similar paintings both having Rieger in the signatures and be by different artists, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts on these or info on the artists would be greatly appreciated - thank you!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]377256[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]377257[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]377258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]377259[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]377260[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]377261[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]377262[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]377263[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]377264[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]377269[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Has anyone seen anything by either of these artists? Could they be by the same artist who maybe got married & changed part of their name? It seems unusual for such similar paintings both having Rieger in the signatures and be by different artists, right? Any thoughts on these or info on the artists would be greatly appreciated - thank you!
