Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

Local thrift store has quite a find: Salvador Dal�works | Life | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "In the Salvation Army resale store at 2208 Washington — a shop where used clothing is sold half-price on Wednesdays — a glass case near the checkout counter contains a surreal sight: artworks, complete with authentication certificates, attributed to Salvador Dali.
[. . . .]
The Salvation Army attaches no estimated value to the artworks in its glass case. But if real, they could be worth a lot of money. There's what appears to be a one-of-a-kind pen-and-ink drawing, titled Don Quichotte, signed by Dal�; it could be worth as much as $30,000. There are six signed lithographs from the series Le Jungle Humaine (though only one is displayed in the case); individual prints from that series are offered for as much as $5,000 apiece on eBay. Plus there's a bronze crucifix, Christ of St. John of the Cross."
