40 YEARS AGO, I HAD THIS GUSTAVE BAUMANN PRINT, THAT I BOUGHT AT A JUNK STORE IN SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO...IN THE LATE 1970's, LEANING AGAINST A WALL, NEXT TO A CABINET......AND HAD NEVER CONSIDERED IT 'A GREAT WORK OF ART'....IT REMAINED 'AGAINST THE WALL' FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS....WITH A 'PRICE TAG' OF, AT MOST, $250......EVENTUALLY, SOME ONE FANCIED IT AS A GIFT FOR A FRIEND....I OFFERED IT FOR 'THE BUYER'S GIFT BUDGET'.....AND FORGOT ABOUT THE PRINT......THEN, JUST YESTERDAY, WATCHING THE SOTHEBY'S 'ROAD SHOW' ON PUBLIC TELEVISION!! WTF!!
