A customer dropped this off at my job to be custom framed. I suppose my coworker somewhat blindly took the order, but I later filed the paper work with the art work and then noticed the signature; Miro. I then noticed the signature was shiny, the way graphite is shiny. My heart started to beat a little faster. "I think this is an original Miro," I stated out loud to whomever was or wasn't around. After a few minutes of visual- and some very subtle physical- forensic analysis I decided to call the customer for confirmation.
It's an original alright! This piece may not be an example of Miro's best work, but in it's own little way it's still quite the celebrity to me. What a special thing it is to have an intimate experience like this with the work of a very special artist. I am humbled and excited at once.
