Description: Note: Hi friends. We had to say goodbye to our sweet, 17-year-old cat, Boo, this week, so we’re releasing this episode from our Patreon. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week.Teri Horton didn’t mince words. The $5 thrift store painting she’d picked up for a friend was ugly. Very ugly. It wasn’t even what she’d call art. It looked like blobs and sprays of paint flung willy-nilly on a massive canvas. So, when Teri’s friend didn’t want the painting, Teri wasn’t offended. But Teri was sure surprised when an art teacher told her she might have purchased a genuine Jackson Pollock painting. Teri’s response was quick. “Who the f*** is Jackson Pollock?”Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: The documentary, “Who the #$and% is Jackson Pollock?”“The Case for Jackson Pollock,” by PBS Digital Studios“The Mark of a Masterpiece” by David Grann for the New Yorker“Jackson Pollock: Demystifying America’s Most Influential Painter,” by The Conspiracy of Art YouTube channel“$50-million question,” by Louise Baring for The National Post“‘Ugly’ painting’s creator still disputed; now artists claim it,” by Kristina Sauerwein for The Los Angeles Times“A thrift-shop Jackson Pollock masterpiece?” 60 Minutes“‘Bakersfield Mist’ pits art misfit against art maven,” by Barbara Yoresh for the Indian River Press Journal“Costa Mesa woman known for the fight to authenticate a possible Jackson Pollock painting dies without selling it,” by Susan Hoffman for the Daily Pilot“After 25 years, Costa Mesa woman still holding out for a ‘fair price,’” for the Daily Pilot
