    Andrew Graham-Dixon - fascinating journey. You are so sensitively articulate! I recently discovered that I am a Dixon, too. Feeling proud of you! And a little tidbit about me is that my own art has often been described as being somehow similar to Van Gogh's &; >

    So glad the paintings appeared. Despite the long years they got back where they belong. Extremely happy the one he painted about his father’s funeral, with a profound connection with the family, appeared in good conditions. Surprising how the they pretend to trade such masterpieces, when there is no other way than tell the truth, in order to get less charges or time in prison.

    In Australia if you have a very expensive or priceless painting in your home, don’t go and get insured as not after you do they get stolen. This is what a bloke who does valuations once told me, for some valuers tip off individuals who are willing to pay for them stolen or not. As for those Van Gough paintings ending up in the Ukraine that is not surprising as many priceless items have ended up there, the Middle East is another place where money buys anything. Some people pay others to get priceless items by any means

    HI PLACE THIS BIG TRUE:Full My Control Mars - Remate control for automatic systems🤫😂Advantages: cloning is impossible. Possibility for cloning many remote controls from each other, from a distance, thanks to the patented self-learning system (from transmitter to transmitter), simply by pressing the buttons in a specific sequence. LR - LONG RANGE: the transmitters can cover almost DOUBLE the current distance thanks to one of the FAAC patents; SLH - LONG RANGE transmitter: when the control buttons are pushed it detects the surrounding environment in real time (e.g. position of the hand, presence of electrical disturbances, etc.) and automatically reconfigures the electronics, maximising the radiated power at each transmission. Fully compatible with previous SLHs----HA-HA-EXCUSE SUR-SMESH WHO NEXT LEBEL❓😂

    Obviously any theft is wrong, but talking trash about what the used the money for is laughable. You guys realize what those millionaires use art for right? Money laundering and tax evasion. They don't spend $300 million on art because they love a good drawing.

    Mr. Graham-Dixon is the worst interviewer ever. He rudely interrupts his guests just as they are getting to the point and then finishes their story with his theories, displaying here an amazing disrespect towards them and their opinions. Still, It is undoubtedly an interesting documentary.
