Didn't the CIA covertly drive up his price by secretly overpaying for his paintings?

    Never heard of that, but I love an actual (with evidence) conspiracy theory. Spare me any conspiracy hypotheses tho, please.

    Yes, they financed lots of art in the fifties/sixties to:

    A) Show the west had better culture/art than the Soviet Union

    B) Infiltrate those pesky leftists

    That's why we have Pollack and other crap "artists". Pollack didn't even invent the whole "pouring" thing, some lady in an esatblock country did IIRC.
