Certainly know how to create a story for a TV programme the American people. Sitting in in coffee shop nonchalantly watching the AR take place when - out of nowhere - his wifey suggests taking "That weird painting they have at home in" .... His wife and he knew all along that they'd bring the painting and waited until the crowd had died down to bring it for an estimation knowing fine well who it was by and what he represented. His bloody signature is there in full view - not as if it were a squiggle either, it's in print ! So he got his free evaluation and probably sold the picture shortly afterwards.

@@evryhndlestakn In 2006 I packed up, put everything I kept into storage and moved to Brazil where my stuff would join me later. Unfortunately Brazil didn't work out, too corrupt and my stuff stayed in storage even after I returned to France as I had been ruined and could only keep up the storage bills with difficulty. The cost of these five units was huge over 12 years and people kept saying 'let it go' and 'get rid of them' but I didn't. Turned out that between damp damage, breakage and theft I lost a lot but I did manage to save what for me was my past, family things, my treasures and they didn't have a 'value' except to me. Most people don't get it, I feel quite sad for them and things hold memories.

No wonder the guy was is shock when the appraiser said that he should "insure" it for 50K pounds. That "piece" will cost him and will make him lose money because he has to pay to have insurance. He is better off selling it, because if he keeps it, pays for the insurance, eventually he dies, and his heirs will eventually reap the value of the piece from a garage sale.
