I hadn’t thought of The Partridge Family in years.And I, of the Mondrian dresses that were all the rage in the mid-60s.

I like the art on freight trains. A lot of it is Von Bode stuff and some of it is R. Crumb.

All they had to do was look at the back and see which way up the "Made in China" sticker was applied.

I have not seen the movie; but thanks for the tip!
I’m an art nouveau kinda gal. Klimt, for instance. Also love Italian still lifes of fruits or flowers.

Any work of art that could be hung upside down for years without anyone knowing it, isn’t actually a work of art at all.

Klimt's, 'Tree of Life' is a favorite.
But I like Pop Art, too. Audrey hangs in my kitchen:
But my favorite artist (of which I own three prints) is Andrew Wyeth:

So to get the right orientation from the made in China sticker do you flip it over or turn in around. Is there an ISO standard for this sort of thing?

Did you see the Mark Wahlburg movie “Contraband” where the smugglers disguised a Jackson Pollock by placing it on the floor of a van like a painter’s dropcloth???

Oprah is reported to have made a $60ML profit on the sale of her Gustav Klimt painting, sold to a Chinese buyer for $150Million.
One of Klimt's teachers was the Austrian artist Michael Rieser, born in Schlitters in 1828, who was an ancestor. We have recently sold a collection of Rieser's preparatory works to the Klimt Foundation in Salzburg. Klimt's success was phenomenal. Michael Rieser, his teacher, was the brother of my grandmother's grandfather. His work was mostly on religious subjects:

It sucks. But what would I know, I never went to art appreciation class for someone to tell me that to be a snob you have to like crap.
