Buying the $9.99 artworkIn 2012, Feedback, a 45-year-old woman from Concord, Cabarrus County made an unexpected discovery about an affordable painting she purchased. The journey of this North Carolina citizen began with the $9.99 purchase of a rather unremarkable painting from a Goodwill store. The "Vertical Diamond" artwork, created by Ilya Bolotowsky, was originally purchased for a completely different purpose. The painting was purchased for just $9.99 at a Goodwill store and sold at a Sotheby's auction for over $27,000. She also plans to start a creative journey, producing several "Vertical Diamond" ripoff paintings with prominent cat symbols.
