Event Details
Trash talking truck driver Teri Horton finds herself in the national spotlight after learning the painting she paid five bucks for at a thrift store may actually be a lost masterpiece by abstract expressionist, Jackson Pollock. First brought to light on an episode of 60 Minutes, "Who the #$&% is Jackson Pollock" is the hilarious David and Goliath story of an ordinary person taking on the art world establishment. Forensic evidence, including Pollock's thumbprint on the back, indicate the painting is genuine but Museum of Modern Art director Thomas Hoving is skeptical. (2006).
