The Not-so-secret World of Donated Art

We’ve all heard the stories: The Goodwill shopper in Massachusetts who found a Flemish painting that ended up selling for $190,000. Or the Virginia Goodwill employee who suspected a donated piece of artwork might be valuable and was correct, having a rare painting by 19th century Italian painter, Giovanni Battista Torriglia, worth $12,000!  Most of these rare finds are purchased in a retail store environment, but there are still treasures to be found on Goodwill’s auction website, www.shopgoodwill.com.

You may not be hunting for the next six figure work of art, but might just be searching for your own personal treasure to display or to give as a gift.  Either way, there are some fantastic paintings, drawings, photographs and sculptures that can be found on www.shopgoodwill.com.
