THRIFT-STORE PAINTING ATTRIBUTED TO JACKSON POLLOCK

An abstract painting that retired truck driver Teri Horton bought from a southern California thrift store eleven years ago may be an authentic Jackson Pollock, the San Jose Mercury-News reports. Horton, who purchased the painting for five dollars, decided it was taking up too much space in her mobile home and offered it to a friend who was an art professor. Shortly thereafter, Canadian forensic art expert Peter Paul Biro found one of Pollock’s fingerprints on the canvas and concluded it was real.
