Supermodels are famous for habit going to second hand or thrift stores and buying designer goods for ridiculously low price. This way of spending money is not reserved only for those with too much of free cash and free time. In a second hand anyone can find quality goodies for a good price. But something else is to find something valuable in the street. Often people dispose old furniture if they don't like it anymore, and hope someone else will pick it up and keep it. But those things are never valuable. Until came this year. A painting, that was found in trash in New York, is a valuable lost treasure from the author Rufino Tamajo and it's worthy almost a whole million dollars. The founder, Elizabeth Gibson, has found the artwork probably four years ago and kept is as a nice wall decoration. But she saw the painting in a website and realized that the beautiful huge painting is actually a lost property and can cost lot of money. Gibson decided to return the painting to its previous owners, which had been missing the painting for 20 years. She received a $15,000 reward, but this sum of money is nothing in comparison with the actual price of the artwork. According to Sotheby's experts the painting can make up to $ 1 million in the auction next month. But thanks to this uncommon story the price may fly to an unexpected high and the new owner will not only have a wall decoration, but an interesting story behind it.
