In 1974 I went to an Antique Show at Lenox Square in Atlanta, and came across this beautiful and decorative sculpture and maxed out my VisaCard for $1800 to bring it home.......a couple of months later, teased by friends for my impulsive squandering of limited resources, I "unloaded" the sculpture to a well-heeled friend for a hundred dollar profit.....Over the years, I have frequently thought about the piece and have even acquired compensatory sculptures to assuage my aesthetic loss.....I finally decided to look around for the Bronze and actually located the same one that I had sold over 35 years ago.......The current owner agreed that he would sell the piece to me for $18,000!....... Oh, well......I guess not!.......I've always thought that Art was the best investment and a lot more enjoyable than Coca Cola stock..........
