Red Nose Print: $9,000

Karen Mallet was just going about her errands at her local Goodwill when she saw one picture that took her attention. It was a painting that was quite an abstract face painting, with black and white stripes with a red nose. Then she found that there was a signature in the corner of the painting by the name of Alexander Calder. Since she was not really aware of the painter, she bought the painting for about $12.34 and did not think much of it at all. But when Mallet went home, she started to research the name Calder. She soon discovered that he had created lithographs—authorized copies— which bore close resemblance to the one she just bought. She then wanted to clarify if the signature was indeed Calder’s. After verifying that it was indeed a lithograph of Calder’s Red Nose, she sold the painting for $9,000.
