[Jamestown1630]

It doesn’t look anything like any other Van Gogh portrait that I’ve seen.

If it was me, I would have kept quiet about where I bought it. There is a doctrine in contract law called "mutual mistake" that lets a seller or buyer rescind a contract if both were materially mistaken about what was being sold.

If this turns out to be a genuine Vincent van Gogh then I suspect some lawyers are going to be making a lot of money off of it.

That’s nothing. I bought a six pack of original Hunter Bidens for only two million total. I’m pretty sure I’m on easy street in a few years

[PGR88]

As a side note, how is the market for Hunter Biden’s artwork, now that we are past Jan 20?

I think I lost possession of a valuable Obama sculpture. I hit the flush handle and it was gone before I could grab it.

I love how the article hypes this painting up then slips in at the very end that ‘oh by the way the definitive authority for authenticating the painting has already decided it’s not real.’

Take it to the Pawn Stars; they’ll have it authenticated within a half hour.

> However, the Van Gogh museum has already stated that they don’t think it is authentic. <

I feel the owner’s pain. I bought this painting at a thrift store.

I’ve got an eye for fine art, and I’m sure it’s a genuine Vincent Van Gogh. But the snobs at the Van Gogh museum won’t even answer my letters.

[refreshed]

Literally no story here. Someone gets the painting authenticated in 2018. They are told it’s a fake. They sell it at a yard sale. It’s worth 50 bucks. I don’t even think it’s worth 50 bucks. I am not a professional art critic, but I am a van Gogh fan. This does not look like a van Gogh.

I can never win this game.

” If that happens, it’s value will skyrocket...”

Its. ITS! Where are the editors?

“Lost fisherman”?

I wonder if it was from Louie Anderson’s (the comedian) childhood home. Here is a comedy routine based on the true story of the FBI coming to his home when he was a child. Looking for his older brother. He doesn’t say what the crime was - but the internet makes a good case that he was involved in the largest art heist of the time back in Minnesota.

it was done by someone in an asylum who thought he was Van Gogh... still makes it a Van Gogh though.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

It doesn't look like most of the Van Gogh's that I've seen, but what do I know.

Is the writer of this piece a DEI hire?

Two whoppers stand out:

The artists has titled the work….

… it’s value will skyrocket….

[Seruzawa]

Might be a counterfeit too.
