Little evidence of recession for certain fine arts Hudson River painting surpasses.

It's no wonder that so many people have relied on antiques and fine arts as a safety nets to fall back on in tough economic times.

Overall, antiques and collectibles have been the safest and best performing investments available to the average person.

Here's a great example: Take this John Pope, Hudson River painting, recently sold at Fontaines Auction Gallery in Pittsfield MA. The estimated value was $2,000 to $3,000. The selling price with buyers premium: $5,750!

Has anyone ever offered you double the estimated value of any of your stock holdings?

Below is a photo gallery with details of this fantastic work.
