<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 9774799, member: 37&quot;]Some decent finds this week.&nbsp; There was a large group of corporate art donated to the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store.&nbsp; Much of it was overpriced by thrift store standards in the $80.00 range. There were a few good pieces in the lot that were relative bargains.</p><p><br /></p><p>I picked up these two large hand colored etchings by well-listed artist Robert Kelly (b. 1956).&nbsp; Both are in a numbered edition of 100 and signed by the artist. Both have Marsall Erdman and Associates provenance on the back.&nbsp; Ironically, despite being identical in size and framing, one was priced $15.00 and the other $35.00.&nbsp; There was a third priced $50.00 that I did not buy. The management would do nothing to reconcile the prices.&nbsp; I probably would have bought quite a bit more if I could have gotten them all down in the $25.00 range.&nbsp; I will probably go back in a couple weeks when prices will drop to see what is left.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]482434[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]482435[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I found this large watercolor at a different thrift.&nbsp; As can be seen in the first picture, the glass is broken and the painting has slipped down below the mat.&nbsp; I could not see the signature but thought it good enough to spring the $8.00 asking price ... LOL!&nbsp; Turns out it is by well known MI/IA artist, Rein Vanderhill.&nbsp; It is a bit different than his current work but is typical of his Lake Michigan shore paintings done during his MI years.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]482436[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]482437[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Photos are not the best.&nbsp; All three of these works are large and the best place to shoot them was laying in the driveway.&nbsp; We had full sun so they are a bit overexposed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
