Garage Sale Find

[harveythedog2]

Have you ever been with your wife and she see's a garage sale and asks you to stop? I whined a little bit but knew in my mind that whining wasn't going to get me anywhere so I gave in.

As soon as we walked in I saw something colorful laying flat on a table. I got up to it and about flipped out! There sat a 30" X 45" cloth print of Mario Andretti in the Lotus 78. Needless to say I snagged it right away and $10 later it was mine!!!

I tried to do an internet search to find out more about it but I came up empty. The print is stapled to a sturdy wood frame and on the edges in the back it says, "Exclusive Design - Printworks International - Design Klaus Buerble, 1978"

Does anyone know anything about this company or artist? The thing is hugh so I had to re-arrange and even put some of my other Mario posters in storage. But for now I can't stop looking at it.

Thanks Honey for making us stop when I didn't want too!!!

I think she planted it to get you to go to more garage sales with her. LOL seriously, great find! pretty awesome, even for a non-Mario fan like myself.

Great Find Stu, Yoli had me stop at one and I walked away with 2 Iwata airbrushes, a Iwata fender gun, a nice spun aluminum air tank (full) with adjustable regulator and gauge & 4 nice 10ft. hoses all new or like new...Oh the guy gladly took my 20 bucks..Go Figure....LoL Chris ;D
Ps. sold the Fender gun for $150.

This awesome, esp for something from the 1970's that looks brand new ! Nice find.

Dummy me. The artist name is Klaus Buergle (not ble) and he was born in 1929 and is German. He did some very popular futuristic paintings and cars are his hobby. Still couldn't find anything on the Lotus but it's nice to know he was once a very popular artist.
