Who The #$&% is Jackson Pollack DVD Movie Review
Who The #$&% is Jackson Pollack is a pretty good documentary. It is the story everyone who has ever watched PBS Antiques Roadshow has dreamed of.... finding a rare art piece at a thrift shop.
Who The #$&% is Jackson Pollack is about Teri Horton, a truck driver who finds a Jackson Pollack painting and is determined to prove that it is real.
The documentary does a great job of exploring the nuances, politics and difficulties of proving a work of art is real versus being a fake. Director Harry Moss does this by examining a wonderful array of art experts. Some of these experts have stellar reputations. Some of these experts have fallen from grace as expert forgers and con men. Moss gives equal time and respect to each which makes for a very well-rounded opinion on the alleged Pollack painting.
If you like films about art and films about dreams of striking it rich, you'll enjoy Who The #$&% is Jackson Pollack
