This is why I always keep my eyes out for scrapped art. No, I don't dumpster dive habitually, but I don't turn my nose up to everything in the rubbish pile.
"A painting stolen 20 years ago then found lying in a pile of rubbish on a New York City street has sold at auction for just over $1m (£484,000). The 1970 painting Tres Personajes (Three People) by Mexican artist Rufino Tamayo was taken from a warehouse where the owners had placed it while moving."
