My nephew collects art, his dad (my brother) was an artist, so one day I’m over at his place and he says “hey I got a new acquisition you need to see it” and it was a Jackson Pollock, actually it was a 24-inch square piece of a Jackson Pollock.

How would you know it was really a Jackson Pollock? I didn’t say anything but... I think he might have been ripped off.

If I understand your meaning, someone cut up a painting and sold the individual pieces.

Why would anyone buy a piece of vandalized art?
