And they were in a garage, and the owner, when I bought the house, says, you, these... you can have these things, I don't need them, or take them to a dump.
And he told that the house once belonged to an artist named Dugo.
Andre Szenes Dugo.
APPRAISER: I've been working with posters and with Art Deco graphics...
GUEST: Uh-huh.
APPRAISER: ...for over 13 years now.
GUEST: Yes.
APPRAISER: And I have never come across the name of Dugo, nor come across any of his works.
He had an extraordinary Art Deco aesthetic.
GUEST: Yes, he did.
APPRAISER: And what these pieces are, they are maquettes.
Hand-drawn, actually painted with gouache, with airbrush, and with some collage elements...
GUEST: Yes.
APPRAISER: ...studies for posters.
Now, to the best of my knowledge, these images were never actually turned into posters themselves.
They were merely the studies.
What we do know about Dugo, thanks to this wonderful scrapbook that you have, is that he was working as an actual artist in Europe at the time.
GUEST: Yes.
APPRAISER: And we see a collection of the covers he designed, for various magazines.
So even though these weren't realized, these maquettes are so wonderfully Art Deco, that I think they have some value.
How much did you pay for the house where these were?
GUEST: This was in '69 or '78, and it was not very big, I think it was in the $40,000s or something like that.
APPRAISER: At auction, I think each one of these maquettes would be estimated at $2,000 to $3,000.
Okay, making the total auction estimate for the six pieces $12,000 to $18,000.
Which sounds like it might've been almost half the cost of the house itself.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
