MY KID COULD PAINT THAT

24.06.08

By: Aaron Ray

I saw an entertaining documentary last night about a 4 year old girl who paints pretty amazing abstract pieces. After showing in a family friends coffee shop for the sake of fun, people begin to notice and start to inquire about buying her pieces. At the height of her popularity her work was selling for $20,000. But when 60 minutes runs a story debunking the authenticity of her work, things begin to go downhill. I’d like to believe she did the work on her own, but the film makes it hard to be certain. Check out the trailer here.
