ejp626 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Quite literally from an airport recycling bin! Quite an interesting (if brief) tale with a happy ending. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/340000-surrealist-painting-was-found-recycling-bin-180976542/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they tried to get rid of it (without looking closer or even inside) as fast as they could. Because an unattended package at an airport can spell BIG trouble once the anti-terrorism machinery gets moving ... Understandable reaction if you are way down in the pecking line and have nothing to gain in your poorly paid cleaning job anyway So the bottom line is that the owner who "left" it at the airport was way worse than careless.

Dave James Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 I saw that. Talk about irresponsible. Was there any discussion of the painting's value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
