I just love money making article and this one is definately one of favourites. As I often dream about winning the lottery and in my mind. I have already spent the funds.
If you found $100,000 in untraceable cash, would you hand it in? Two teen brothers agonised over that dilemma after finding bags of money while fishing.
The boys came across the cash in a quiet little creek near a tiny town west of Lismore and spent two weeks worrying what to do with their jackpot before finally handing it in to police.
Tuntable Creek runs through a small valley in northern NSW, near the notorious drug den of Nimbin, lending a sinister air to exactly what the money was for.
The cash, which was sitting beside the creek in plastic bags, may have washed downstream during heavy flooding earlier in the year.
The matter is now under police investigation.
Jackson Pollack
I show a docs about this, and it just made my angry. The art world are so narrow minded. A thift find Jackson Pollack. The debate is still out about this truck drivers $5.00 dollar find.
Everybody knew that Pollock dumped a lot of his unsuccessful things in, in the dump in, in East Hampton. You know, in those days, they weren't, they weren't worth anything really. But now they are.
And, a few months ago, 32 potential Pollocks turned up in the attic of Herbert Matter, a friend and contemporary of the artist. Some leading experts say they're genuine.
But the art establishment shows no inclination to accept Teri's painting, even with the fingerprints.
I believe that Teri will still continue to struggle getting the experts to accept this as an geniune Pollack.
Another Famous Painting
One day, an man in Indiana spent $30 for a few pieces of used furniture and an old painting of some flowers. When he got his new stuff home, he decided to hang the picture to cover up a hole in his wall.
Some years later he was playing a board game called Masterpiece in which players attempt to outbid one another for artwork at an auction. When he noticed, one of the cards in the game featured a painting of flowers that looked a lot like the one he had on his wall. So he went online and found that his painting was similar in style to the work of Martin Johnson Heade, an American still-life artist best known for landscapes and flower arrangements.
Through his research he found the Kennedy Galleries in Manhattan, which handles many of Heade’s works, and asked them to take a look at his painting. They agreed and were able to verify that the piece of artwork covering the hole in his wall was a previously unknown Heade painting, since named Magnolias on Gold Velvet Cloth. In 1999, The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston purchased the painting for $1.2 million dollars.
