An arts extra: Unemployed Ohio man buys Picasso print in thrift store
A fun story for your entertainment:
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An unemployed Ohio man was browsing at his local thrift store for items he could restore and resell when he spotted a Picasso poster with the word “Exposition” written across the front, some French words, and the image of a warped round face. He handed over $14.14 for what he saw as a nice commercial print.
Some Internet searches later – and a closer look at markings on the lower right area – and he sold what’s believed to be a signed Picasso print for $7,000 to a private buyer who wants to remain anonymous.
