Auction Finds - Pretty Pictures (2)
Simply because I had to many to fit in [Part 1](https://golos.io/en/@onetree/auction-finds-pretty-pictures-1)!!! Beauty heals our souls, and each one of us have varying needs and tastes. Buying art from auctions, both at the saleroom, or online, is a cost effective way to score some great pieces. I probably list on average between 10-15 pieces of art online each month. Additionally, we sell heaps of pictures in our shop.
The most I have sold a painting (actually a smallish drawing) for was by the famous Belgian painter, who spent most of his life in South Africa, Frans Claerhout and it sold for R4000 ($296). I also had a case of a painting I suspected was by a very famous artist, but couldn't be certain. We do not live in an area close to specialised auction houses, so I never got it appraised. I did eventually sell it for R3000 ($222) to a local friend of mine, the curator of our town's museum. For the life of me I can't remember the artist's name!
