My 'Picasso' "Girl with a Dove" was sold to Qatar for £50 million.
I'd sell mine for offers above £1 million.
Shame it is painted on modern plywood with Acrylic paint, so it can't be genuine.
I now have that Picasso, three Picasso drawings, two Jean Cocteau, one Matisse, one Duchamp, two L S Lowry and one Cy Twombly. If any one of them is genuine I've bought a bargain.
It doesn't matter to me. I just like them, otherwise I wouldn't have bought them.
What surprises me is that they are listed on eBay among kitsch drawings of cats, dogs and Elvis. To me they stand out like gold in a pile of horse shit but obviously other people don't agree or I wouldn't be able to buy them so cheaply.
I don't think I'm unusual in liking what I've bought, but eBay viewing statistics for the drawing lots seem to suggest that kitsch cats get ten times as many viewers.
