 This
week, let's meet a lucky woman who lives in New York City. Don't be surprised. She found a
lost masterpiece by accident! Her name is
Elizabeth Gibson. Elizabeth saved stolen masterpiece by Mexican
artist Rufino Tamayo from the rubbish.
Four years ago, Elizabeth saw a painting among bags of rubbish on
the street. "I walked by it at first. But I knew I had
to go back. I knew I had to take it!" said Elizabeth. "It
was a huge, powerful and beautiful painting.
And I thought it was wrong to be in the garbage."
The painting is called Three People. The famous painting was stolen
more than 20 years ago. If she had not acted so quickly after seeing
the painting, it might have been lost forever.
Three People was returned to its owner. Elizabeth will get
a 15,000-dollar reward for returning the
painting to its owner. The painting will go for as much as 1 million
dollars at auction on November 20. |
