Some folks really have great luck at thrift stores!
A painting purchased for $4.09 from a donation center for household goods in South River, Ontario, was subsequently discovered to have been painted by David Bowie in 1977.
The president of Cowley Abbott Fine Art in Toronto says a quick valuation pegs it at between $9,000 and $12,000; however, at recent auctions, other paintings by Bowie have fetched over $30,000. https://t.co/QUnZdWreFN
