Who the Fuck is Jackson Pollock?
Woman truck-driver buys $5 painting from thrift store, finds out it may be a Jackson Pollock.
Art-dealers aren't convinced, but forensic and anecdotal evidence points to it being genuine.
She refuses to sell it for less that $50million and has turned down a $9million off from Saudi dealer.

- I think the art dealers stayed sceptical in order to devalue it and keep the market price low. Because you're right the forensics were saying it was genuine.lodef
