Well, several years ago, my wife and I got really into Vincent Van Gogh.

And we've traveled around the world trying to see...

every publicly available Van Gogh that we could possibly see.

The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is incredible to learn that

You know, he started painting when he was 27 years old, committed suicide at 37.

During his lifetime of artwork, he sold one painting.

He was an abject failure.

And it's forensically believed that he was maybe schizoaffective, bipolar schizoaffective.

It's also rumored that he was possibly a drug addict.

I forget the drug.

He spent two years in an insane asylum in a little town in Arles, France, where he probably painted the most expensive art on the planet.

while he was in an insane asylum.

And then it was post his death, and because of his sister-in-law, his brother, who died six months after Van Gogh, who really exposed him.

And he's considered one of the greatest artists of all time history.

That's what I believe that we potentially have out there on the streets are these Van Goghs.

And you met Uta Dittmar, a German woman who is gifted beyond all giftedness and sold that chess set for $10,000, by the way.

Yeah, it was worth it.

Handmade, one of a kind.

There'll never be another one like it.

Hand carved, hand glazed.
