Retired Dog Walker's $10M Gifted Painting Fails to Fetch High Price at Auction
A retired dog walker who was gifted a painting by artist Chuck Close, which he believed would be worth $10 million, was only able to sell it at auction for $40,000. The former dog walker, Mark Herman, arranged the auction with Sotheby's but received no live bids and had to settle for the low price. Despite his disappointment, Herman reflects that having a lot of money would only add pressure to his life.
