Episode #108
Correspondent Clay Reynolds catches up with the owner of a prized oil painting by artist Birger Sandzen, appraised at the Seattle ROADSHOW in 2002 for $30,000 to $50,000, and discovers the artwork's surprising connection to the Birger Sandzen Gallery in Lindsborg, Kansas. Clay gets a unique insider's look at the art of selling at auction with expert David Rago; appraiser Joyce Jonas demonstrates how to distinguish between natural and synthetic materials used in jewelry; and expert Chris Lane explains the complicated interplay of history, geography, age, and condition in determining the value of maps. Wrapping up the episode, Asian art expert Lark Mason relates the mystery of Chinese Emperor Qing's Summer Palace Fountain – a bronze masterpiece representing the animals of the Chinese zodiac. Disassembled and looted in 1860, its five still-missing heads could be almost anywhere – and could fetch a million dollars each.
