A man walks into a thriftshop... Sounds like the start of a bad joke right? This is a true story and not a joke though. A man walks into a thriftshop in Ohio and roots around looking for mid-century housewares and kitschy art and what does he find; a Picasso linocut worth thousands of dollars. Seven thousand dollars to be exact. This is every thrift shopper's dream. Who doesn't want to find that lost Vermeer or even Noguchi coffee table for pennies on the dollar? This thrift shopper, Zachary Bodish, succeded where so many of us have failed. He hit pay dirt and he hit it big. Mr. Bodish paid the only in a thriftshop price of $14.14 for the Picasso linocut. He is living the story every participant on "Anitques Roadshow" dreams about. I say to you Zachary Bodish RIGHT ON! Keep on shopping and so shall we, if you can do so can someone else. I know that Vermeer is out there waiting for me or perhaps you but I hope me!
