Top Class Find

During a visit to a Milwaukee school, a local art collector noticed several pieces of art on the walls. He asked about the art and was shown more in storage. He found two paintings by Birger Sandzen, a Swedish-born artist who died in 1954 and whose work in recent years has increased in value.
The paintings are believed to have been gifts of graduating classes in the 1920s and are expected to fetch half a million dollars in auction.
