Who the $#%& is Jackson Pollock? Movie Synopsis:

When Teri Horton, a 73-year-old former long-haul truck driver with an
eighth 
grade education, bought a painting in a thrift shop for five dollars, she 
didn't know that it would pit her against the highest and mightiest people

in the art world and perhaps change forever the way art is authenticated.

Working with a forensic scientist, Teri learned that a fingerprint on the 
back of her canvas matched up with a fingerprint found on a can of paint
in 
the studio of Jackson Pollock. More research showed that the paint on the 
floor of Pollock's studio matched the paint on Teri's canvas. Because Teri

knew that a Jackson Pollock painting the size of hers was worth upwards of

$50 million, she thought she had won the lottery. "Not so fast," said the 
art establishment, which looked down its collective nose at Teri and 
proclaimed her painting worthless.

"Who the $#%& is Jackson Pollock?" is a rollicking adventure story that 
do***ents Teri's 15-year war with the art world, lifts the veil on how art

is bought and sold in America, and introduces audiences to the funny, 
profane, and thoroughly unforgettable Teri Horton.
