APPRAISER: Uh-huh.
GUEST 1: He didn't really care for it, and he finally just said, "Here, you can have this.
It's ugly.
I don't really want it."
APPRAISER: Well.
GUEST 1: So he gave it to me.
APPRAISER: It's not ugly-- it's unusual, and it's wonderful.
And contemporary art is really hot right now.
It's by an American artist named George Condo, who was born in 1957 and then went to New York in the '80s and was part of that whole wonderful New York scene around that time.
He was friends with, uh, Andy Warhol's Factory... folks, uh, and also collaborated with William Burroughs, the writer, and also with Allen Ginsberg.
His style is called figurative abstraction, which is an unusual, contemporary surrealist style, which I think we can really see in this drawing.
This is a very special little piece.
GUEST 1: Cool.
APPRAISER: Uh, the back of it has a, um, art gallery label, so we have a nice documentation of where it's been.
I'd value this piece at between $1,500 and $3,000.
GUEST 1: Wow!
(both laugh) GUEST 2: Cool!
GUEST 1: Wow!
(laughs) Oh, that's amazing.
