A Bold Bluff?


One in a series of works depicting dogs playing poker, the painting 'A Bold Bluff,' by artist Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, sold for $590,400 at auction on Tuesday.

The winning bidder was a private collector from New York with questionable artistic taste & way too much money.

My favorite was the painting of the poker dogs which showed one dog with an ace, clearly visible underneath the table, stuck in his hind paw...A Canine Cheat?
