Betcha the auction gets pulled before it ends, just like the aluminum “ant sculpture” was.

I don’t know, the seller has zero feedbacks. Oh what the heck, I’ll bid.
How can the housing complex be considered responsible? Makes no sense.
Is there any confirmation that this is the real GZ?

Who Knew???
Because no one has ever submitted a fraudulent bid on ebay for a high profile auction...
Not knowing a lot about how ebay works, what if the $100,000 bid is the winner and the person refuses to pay it? Does it go to the next highest bidder or is Zimmerman out of luck entirely?
This clearly indicates that Mr. Zimmerman has a future as an artist.
There was a famous (infamous) New York “artist”, who hired starving art school graduates to work minimum wage, creating works of art that, if they met his approval, he would sign and sell as his own. This was not a secret, and not only did he go out of his way for others to know this, he openly sneered at his art patrons as incompetent imbeciles with no taste in art.
Sylvester Stallone and his mother were perhaps his biggest patrons, buying up dozens of works at stupidly high prices.
I mention this because this is precisely what Mr. Zimmerman should do. In addition to his own paintings, he should pay starving art school graduates (of which there is an endless supply), to create works. Then, to be a *bit* more authentic, he should modify those paintings to his own taste and sell them as his own.
Oddly enough, this used to be how art schools run by recognized masters functioned. They would get a dozen talented students to make paintings in the style of the master, then either modify them a little, or not, and sell them under the master’s name. This is how single masters are today attributed to hundreds of works of art, even though they personally did only a typical small number.
I would take it one step further, however, if I were Mr. Zimmerman. I would subdivide works into two distinct styles, one very colorful and pleasant, and the other dark and morbid, “Night Gallery” stuff. This would insure that “his” paintings had the widest possible audience.
He might even have a humorous series done about Obama. Something like depicting them both relaxing in a sauna in a bath house. That would certainly set tongues wagging.
I dunno. I think this lowers Zimmerman to T Martin parent’s level.
Well the words and the color may be George’s but the image sure isn’t:
