—but a series of forgeries by 45-year-old Los Angeles auctioneer Michael Barzman and an accomplice identified only as J.F.

It was a compelling story, and it was one that inspired storage hunter William Force and his financial backer, Lee Mangin, to purchase the lot for $15,000.in 2012, making it difficult for Force and Magnin to get anyone to officially weigh in on the question of authenticity.allegedly painted by Basquiat in 1982 and painted on corrugated cardboard.
