$200M Ansel Adams Negatives Bought at Garage Sale for $45
Written by Pat's Papers | Wednesday, 28 July 2010 10:21 AM
A California man who bought a series of glass negatives for $45 at a garage sale back in 2001 is having a great day. After six months of investigating, experts have confirmed that the negatives once belonged to Ansel Adams and are worth around $200 million. Adams’ grandson, however, has refuted the findings and says he doesn’t believe the negatives were produced by his grandfather. The Fresno Bee says meteorologists compared the clouds featured in the negatives with ones that appear in Adams’ pictures to confirm their authenticity. The 64-year-old maintenance worker plans to exhibit the negatives before cashing in.
