MILWAUKEE (AP) - Nose just meant a reindeer named Rudolph to Karen Mallet until she purchased a print by that reputation for $12.34 in a Goodwill store in Milwaukee. It ended up being a lithograph by American artist Alexander Calder worth $9,000.
Mallet fortune reaches least the fourth time in six months that valuable art has turned up at Goodwill,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where bargain-hunters search for hidden treasure among the coffee cups, jewelry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], lamps and other household cast-offs.
Last month, a Salvador Dali sketch available at a Goodwill shop in Tacoma, Wash., sold for $21,000. Last summer, a New york woman pocketed more than $27,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 for a painting she bought for $9.99 at Goodwill. But things slip through the cracks and the workers aren art experts.
kind of part of shopping at Goodwill - the excitement from the hunt, said Cheryl Lightholder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], communications manager for Goodwill in southeastern Wisconsin. never know what you likely to find. a media relations specialist for Georgetown University and others,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], didn even like Nose when she first spotted it during one of her frequent Goodwill shopping trips in May.
big find that day was this excellent set of steel knives,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in a block, for $18.99 by Wolfgang Puck, she said.

In low-browed terms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it might be described as an abstract image of an ape having a hangover, with spiral swirls for eyes such as the ones in cartoons when someone gets punched. A large red nose may be the only color.
Then she saw the Calder signature.
thought, I don know if it real or otherwise however it $12.99. I wasted more about worse things, she said. A discount for implementing her Goodwill loyalty card brought the cost down to $12.34.
Once home, she searched the Internet and found similar lithographs by Calder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who died in 1976 and it is well known for his mobiles and abstract sculptures at airports, office towers along with other public places. Mallet piece was No. 55 of 75 lithographs and is made in 1969.
Jacob Art work Inc.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in suburban Chicago, recently set its replacement value at $9,000.
happens often - imaginable, the company owner, Jane Jacob, said of treasures available at thrift stores. don understand what they have. They simply not established to understand art history. Lawson-Zilai, a spokeswoman for Goodwill Industries International Inc. in Rockville, Md., gave these examples of art that Goodwill staff spotted and sold through the auction:
