- Teri, hang onto your painting. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably a duck.

- I have 2 masters degrees from UCLA and Yale in painting. It resembles a Pollock to me but I would really have to see more of it to be sure.
Pollock drew in Bio-Morphic forms. The same forms used by Paul Klee, Dekooning, Gorky, Matta and Conrad Marcarelli among others. Bio-Morphism was huge in the 30's and 40's
If the paint is the same, the forms are the same and the colors are similar to others he used it has an excellent chance of being genuine. The fingerprints are icing on the cake.
Tom Hoving was a Medieval Art expert not a Pollock expert and in fact left the Metropolitan Museum under a cloud of inappropriate acquisitions both real and fake. - Reply to this comment
- By the way, I'd take the two million just in case it's not a Pollock,pride goes before a fall...

- Hey Teri! Why not have them lay your painting on the floor of his studio and see if any of the patterns already on the floor match? Also, maybe the one you have was his first attempt at this style and is different due to his improvements with experience...

- Teri,
I also have an original Pollock where there is a conspiracy against us regular people wherebouts they don't want to authenticate for us. They are afraid that if more Polllocks come out it will lower the value of those snobs. I have provenance & know mine is real. - Reply to this comment
- If a Dupont, Rockefeller or folk of like ilk had bought this painting it would have been authenticated in a NY minute, and without a fingerprint. But a low brow truck driver, with such a find, heaven's forbid. The sad part of this story is that it may not be authenticated in Teri's lifetime, I hope she has a favorite grandson to leave it to, maybe s/he might benefit from this Pollock.

- I love how on the same night 60 Minutes choses to accuse Lou Dobbs of not being fair and balanced; they make the same mistake. In particular, they accuse the art world of not accepting the "fingerprints as proof" of this being a Pollock Masterpiece. However, there is only 1 finger print; thus 60 minutes mispoke and became unfair and not balanced. They clearly want the work to be authenticated. At least we know where Lou Dobbs stands.

- Hey there Teri! I am on your sign. I can't believe they say"don't understand fingerprints." Don't let them rip you off. They are hoping you will cave in and sell it to them for peanuts, afterall, folks like you and me aren't supposed to have such things like a Pollock painting. Hang in there young lady. Good buy!!! :}
