Possible Ansel Adams Photos
Rick Norsigian purchased a box of photo negatives for $45 at a garage sale and discovered that they could well be the work of famed photographer Ansel Adams. Adams’ estate insists that these aren’t originals, but enough of the art community is convinced of their authenticity that Norsigian’s lawyer was able to sell $1.8 million worth of negatives. When Norgisian failed to receive his share of the money from these sales, he took legal action against his lawyer. Considering that the full box of negatives is believed to be worth up to $200 million, this is one story that’s not going to wrap up soon.
