Town ponders fate of valuable painting found in elementary school

“NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, Mass. –The painting hung on the wall of an elementary school auditorium for decades, barely noticed by generations of students, teachers and parents.

“Then a local man intrigued by the work at the Community School did a little research and found it is worth hundreds of thousands — perhaps even millions — of dollars.

“Now the town is wrangling over what to do with the 7-by-10 foot masterpiece by Russian artist Alexandre Iacovleff, entitled “Afghans.”

“Sell it? Or keep it?”

I like it.
