It could have been a bargain.. an original, albeit badly restored Van Gogh was up for sale at a Tokyo auctionhouse this week.. bids suggested to start at about 80 bucks.. their appraisal was somewhat off, with the Amsterdam Van Gogh museum setting the price at closer to $25USthousand..
That's the Shinwa Art Auction Company bargain hunters.. try to make the sessions before the post comes..
And one has to look at one's fellow man with amazement sometimes. In this day of mounting tension and threats of war, Blasco Gavric has struck a personal blow for fredom..
Blasco lives in Northern Serbia, which is achievement enough for a note in history, but there's more.. Blasco's of the mind he's been done over by the politicians, and while this is certainly nothing unique to him, he's decided to declare the re-established state of Yugoslavia within the 3 hectares of northern waste he happens to own. All Yugoslav expatriots are welcome to citizenship; Blasco's ordered boundary stones from the local mason, and some 30 thousand copies of the old flag are being printed up..
Blasco sees a demand.. He also owns the printing shop..
There are precidents after all.. San Marino.. The Vatican.. Quebec..
