Law - "Lawyer Says He Helped Client Show That $45 Garage-Sale Buy is Worth Some $200M" [Updated]
A great story put together by the ABA Journal blog. It begins:
After paying $45 for a box of old negatives a decade ago, a Fresno, Calif., painter noticed that some looked like the published work of famed black-and-white nature photographer Ansel Adams.[Updated at 11:00 AM]. The WSJ has gone all-out on this story, with an article by Lauren A.E. Schuker headed "Ansel Adams Trove, or a Pile of Glass? " and links too a video and a slideshow of photos.Although the family of Adams pooh-poohed the possibility, Rick Norsigian finally hired a lawyer to help him assemble a team of experts to determine whether there might be a link. The result was an announcement today by his Los Angeles attorney, Arnold Peter, that 65 negatives are from the early work of Ansel Adams in the 1920s and 1930s, although they had been thought destroyed by a fire in 1937, reports the Fresno Bee.
