Lot #0046: Gilt Framed Oil on Canvas of Still Life by Karoly Forgo (Hungarian, 1921-2001). Measures approximately 31" x 26"

Bidding is closed.
High Bid:	$42.00
A max bid is the highest amount you are willing to pay for an auction item. In response to other bids, the auction system will automatically increase your bid in the smallest increment possible (up to your max bid amount) in order to maintain your lead position. To get a max bid you simply enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay into the bid form just as you would any other bid. If your bid is more than one bidding increment above the current high bid you will get a max bid unless another bidder has a max bid in place that is higher than the amount you enter. At the end of the auction, the winning bidder pays only the lowest winning bid possible. That means that you can win an auction item at a price less than your max bid amount. Your max bid amount is kept confidential from other bidders. You can lower or delete a max bid by entering a lower amount. Note: After watching hundreds of auctions and talking to thousands of bidders, we think using max bids in your bidding strategy works best for most people. It eliminates some of the pressure and reduces the risk of "sniping", where other bidders slip in slightly higher bids in the last seconds of bidding. ' > Your Max Bid:	NA

Bid History (11 bids)

Karoly Forgo was well known for creating brilliantly colorful still life's and landscapes, but his life was not always bright.

Known as Charlie, Forgo was born in Gyon, Hungary. He began painting as a young boy, and his talent almost immediately caught the attention of professional artists. Because his parents wanted him to become a forester, Forgo enrolled in a university before being drafted into the Hungarian army.

He was later captured by the Russian army and sent to Siberia, where, because of his artistic talent, landed a job painting Russian war posters.

In 1956, Forgo, his wife and two young sons, escaped from Hungary by riding a motorcycle to the Austrian border and then working their way north to Germany where they boarded a U.S. Army cargo ship with other refugees bound for the United States.

In the 1970s, he moved to Florida and joined a professional artist touring association, where he displayed his work around the country.
