Or not.
I got some wonderful spam last night.

Dear Sirs,


1 ) We have Original Picasso painting for sale.

Some history of the Picasso painting for you.
This painting is called: NUDE FROM BEHIND.
It is the original painting, dated 1904, BLUE PERIOD of Picasso.
The genius of this painting is that it was painted in 3 minutes, on wood.
After this, another one was painted (NUDE FROM BEHIND) and that was on canvas. Today, it belongs to Cecil Rothchitd.
This one that is being offered to you, was painted first (it is the original one), and then the Rothchild one.
This one was bought by a Jewish art collector from Salleri Clovis in Paris,France.

The Gallery was later bombed and destroyed during WW2, and the painting stayed with the collector in his mansion/palace in the Czech republic. First hidden from the Nazi occupation, and then hidden away from the Communists.

The owner died, and his son who is no art lover and needs money, sold it to our friend. Our friend has obtained all the paperwork, as presented to you in anutshellin [sic] our first letter. It has it valued at $70M. (The most expensivePicasso ever sold was for $55M (LA FEMME AVEC DES BRAS CROISSE - also blue period). Our painting has used only two colors, WHITE and BLUE, (no other mix).

B/Rgds

Hasan Ekmekci

Yup, I got this one too (and very nearly posted it to LJ as well :-)

Uh, sure, I can see why someone coming into possession of a $70M Picasso original would bypass legitimate, reputable art dealers in favor of trying to sell it BY SPAM...

...while being very careful to describe provenance, too.

Exactly.

And without an asking price, either. I suppose it's too crass to put a price right out there, or something :-).

Heck, they'll take whatever they can get from whatever sucker responds, hence no asking price. ;) BTW, I can procure a framed, autographed copy of Fluffy and can get it to you direct for only $40K, circumventing the auction process, if you'd like. ;)

Wow, framed *and* autographed, huh?
What an opportunity!
