The seller at this sale in the yard of an East Atlanta bungalow had a large collection of Leonardo’s Last Supper. He did not explain why he was getting rid of his collection. Personal collections and the divestment of them are in evidence at many yard sales. When encountering collection one can certain make judgments regarding what started the collecting and why is it ending. Did the owner tire of these things? Did the owner run out of space to store the items? Perhaps the collector moved into an obsessive phase followed by a cathartic moment that caused the owner to suddenly say “enough”. While one can see what is in the yard we cannot see how much might still be inside the home.
The sale included other religious imagery, sporting goods and used clothing gracefully draped across an old pickup truck.
