Miracle Worker
Artist Michael Daube turned one man's trash into a humanitarian treasure.
Michael Daube, 43, founder of the nonprofit Citta
IT'S THE STUFF of urban legend: While combing through the trash in search of materials for his artwork, a young artist finds a drawing with the initials D.H. in the corner. Could it be...? His hunch pays off: The drawing is a David Hockney, and he sells it for $18,000. Then - because this is real life and not a legend - he uses his windfall to build a hospital in India.
