MyAuctionFinds

I started going to auctions to fuel my love for African American art- but at a bargain, I wanted to find works of the masters and discovered others whose art may have been hiding in an attic or basement, and forgotten. I found Tom Mckinney. www.myauctionfinds.com/2020/06/29/neighborly-faces-in-the-works-of-artist-tom-mckinney/http://www.myauctionfinds.com/tommckinneyhttp://www.myauctionfinds.com/tommckinneyhttp://www.myauctionfinds.com/tommckinneyhttp://www.myauctionfinds.com/tommckinneyhttps://myauctionfinds.com/2020/06/29/neighborly-faces-in-the-works-of-artist-tom-mckinney/shapeimage_9_link_0shapeimage_9_link_1shapeimage_9_link_2shapeimage_9_link_3
