You are bidding on an Original Large Acrylic and Oil Painting by the artist T. R. Kolleck. This very hard-to-come-by work is one of the 15 known large acrylic/oil painting to still exist, which were done by this artist in the 60's. This painting was only exhibited two times in open competition art shows. It received one First-Place and a Honorable Mention award in those two public showing. It is in excellent condition. Drawings of his are found in a number of permanent art collections and museums, but there are only a small hand full of painting found in those collections. One of his Drawings from 1987, sold in 1994 for over $700.00 at a New York art gallery and some of his drawings sell for a lot more, if you can find one for sale. A smaller painting from 1969 sold at auction for $30,000.00. Winning bidder will receive a Certificate of Authenticity with the painting. (Please note that the colors and quality of the original painting is far superior to that of what the digital photograph can show.) Please read carefully before bidding!! #1.
