Naked Art

[Drmad7]

Like Artslinger, I get caught up buying art. Saw this piece last night at Goodwill while talking to a manager from another GW store. We both saw it at the same time, but I grabbed it up because of the colors and style. Then I noticed the "male parts" in the painting. The artist is "Chao", so I listed it today starting at $99.00. Nudity sells so hopefully their is a hot market for this. If the male parts were not there, I think it would be an even wider audience or customer pool. Moderators...delete if this pic is in violation.

The style sort of reminds me of the guy that did the Obama Hope poster

True! I couldn't put my finger on it, but that's what it looks like. Did 10 day auction with 7 watchers. Got first bid of $99.00...so I'm already in profit zone.

Sweet! Art and costume jewelry are two areas I want to expand into...Haven't seen any good art yet and don't know what good costume jewelry is.

I have a suspicion (based on almost no research!) that photographs are a giant slumbering opportunity for us pickers out there. Photos as art I suspect are overlooked by many but a robust market with those that collect them. Hmmm, perhaps I should challenge myself to dig into this...

Good luck on the painting. It IS cool and odd and I think you'll get a couple of hundred.

Costume jewelry names...Miriam Haskell, Christian Dior, Givenchy, especially the pre-1970s stuff. As far as the picture, I'm hoping it's some artist that folks love enough to bid several hundred to obtain. But since I paid $3.99...no complaints either way.

Funny looking mushroom.

I am wondering if this is a work by Manu Chao.

Sold for $188.00! Not too bad. The buyer will know he got a great deal.
