No, the pic is from the sun website. In the paper they've got a little cut out of the painting that they say we can have for free. Those crazy bastards

If you see how Pollock's painting's were done, it was basically a series of dripped paint..!

It was owned by David Geffen.  He basically sold it for double what he paid for it.  :P It's rumored to have been bought by Russian mobsters looking to launder their money.

Most of these high-priced paintings are bought as investments.

Yes, I know.  His investment made him 70 million though.  That's nice pocket change, don't you think.  :D

Pollock is a murder.

On August 11, 1956, Jackson Pollock was killed. He was involved in a one car auto accident. He was driving drunk and had overturned his convertible. He killed himself and an acquaintance, while seriously injuring his other passenger, Ruth Kligman, his mistress and only survivor.

Ruth knew he was a terrible alcoholic and that he had fallen off the wagon and downed a bottle of vodka or whatever it was earlier that day.  She didn't have to get into the car with him.  :'(
