A collector bought a Van Gogh for under $50; it’s worth $15M.

An unnamed collector purchased a painting at a garage sale in Minnesota for less than $50, which is potentially discovered to be an authentic work by Vincent van Gogh, valued at $15 million. The painting from 1889 depicts an old fisherman and is titled “Elimar.” Experts have found that the pigments used match those from southern France in the late 19th century. A team of experts is investigating the authenticity of the painting, including a red hair trapped in the paint. The official recognition of the painting is still pending.
