I didn't watch last night, but I could tell from the promo that Letterman was a repeat with Teri Horton, the Texas woman who bought a Jackson Pollock from a flea market for five dollars. Hell, the primed and mounted canvas is worth far more than five dollars. Anyway, there's a documentary this year about her quest for authentication. The upshot of which is that a fingerprint on the verso matched Pollock's. Judging by what the work looks like, it seems like one of his more unsuccessful overly-painted ones that was never intended to be exhibited or sold.
