I'll be happy to takn any old "junk" of this kind off your hands and will even give you a few Euro for it ;-)

And thus became famous in his own right. His paintings are quite valuable nowadays.

Good enoiugh that the very riuch can buy them for several hundred million dollars.

OK, I'll offer you EUR 20 for that, just because we're buddies ;-)
