Buying Interesting Things

Sometimes we buy things just because they are interesting. We found a porcelain bust of a man’s head with fish coming out of it, signed Sergio Bustamante that we were crazy for.  Our best guess was a 80s or 90s piece, certainly newer with a different look and feel from what we usually buy.  We had never owned a piece by Bustamante and were unsure of the age and scarcity of the piece.  Regardless, it was a buy-now, ask-later situation. After a while we contacted the company and learned that this is a 1980s piece that is unique in that others were made, but each is painted differently. The interesting factor paid off and the piece never fails to create conversation being such an eccentric example of modern decorative art.

Each piece unique, no two painted the same
