Ben Nicholson Screen Print: $55,000
Jo Heaven was in her local charity shop (which is the British term for a thrift store) in Swindon, England, when a landscape image with livestock came to her attention. She thought it was “quirky” so she got it for only one dollar in American currency. When she got in the car she noticed something…
A note on the back naming the artist Ben Nicholson who was an influential British modernist. “My mum was an art teacher, so I’d vaguely heard of Ben Nicholson,” Heaven told BBC. After having it authenticated, she auctioned it off for about $55,000.
