Who the *%$# is Teri Horton?
Teri Horton's Jackson pollock is located in Toronto, Canada still for sale, she is asking $50 million dollars. Teri has been offered $9 million, but she turned it down flat, without regret. In the movie Teri Horton and Jackson Pollock's personalities were compared because Teri refuses to sell her Jackson Pollock for less than it's worth. While Pollock was alive he showed the same stubborn personality. Pollock would have rather been a, "starving artist" than sell his work for less than he personally thought it was worth. They both stand firm in the decision they made. In this movie the experts would try to influence your thinking by saying, "I'm an expert, she is not." They would try to discredit Teri by pin pointing that she only has an eighth grade education, and they still are trying to discredit her. I read many online article's from the experts trying to discredit her and all the people she's hired as well. I read online that along with all the evidence that they found on the painting and in Jackson Pollocks studio they have also found that Jackson Pollocks brother may have lived in San Bernardino, California.
I believe Teri Horton's painting is a Jackson Pollock. While I watched the movie I would feel a certain amount of anger because all the evidence is in favor of Teri Horton yet, the "experts" still will not accept it. I believe they have their own reasons for not accepting her painting, and that they are more based on personal feelings than on professionalism. I think that many of the experts will not except this painting based on principle, the same reason Teri wont sell her painting. I believe that they feel as though Teri has went out of her way to embarrass and discredit them. To be an expert and say, "No, this is not..." and then have hard facts thrown in your face that say, "Yes, this is..." was probably very humiliating. I believe that and social class is the reason they wont except Teri's Jackson Pollock.
I've read multiple articles stating that Teri Horton is just some poor old woman who wants to get more than she should receive. Personally, I don't think so. Teri was a truck driver that owned her truck and her trailer home. A decent used semi truck sells for about $60,000, anybody would have a hard time convincing me that Teri was poor, even if she does live in a mobile home. It would be wasteful for her to own a $100,000 house when she most likely spent most of her time away from there. She also lived a very humble life shopping at thrift stores and dumpster diving to save money on the things she didn't feel like she wanted to pay so much for so she would be able to pay more for the things she felt was worth it If anything I think Teri was just a regular middle class person. She wasn't afraid of hard work or a little grease, nobody who "Rolls with a flatbed" is. I know personally that drivers that haul flatbeds do a lot of hard work, and Teri was 70 years old doing this kind of work. I think that last thing Teri Horton is looking for is a free ride, or trying to get more than she deserves. Teri found the pot of gold at the end of her rainbow, and I congratulate her for that and hope she continues to live a very fulling life.
