    That was not a genuine reaction...you dont hear a painting is worth over $800,000 dollars and just go "oh wow..cool!" if you genuinely have no idea...

      Lol. In truth, he already had a good idea of the painting's worth and that it was authentic. What he wasn't sure of was the current value. He's already a wealthy man, so that's why his reaction was somewhat muted.

      No, she said there's a record of it being sold in the 1930 which lines up with his story. Whereabouts unknown means they knew about the painting, they just didn't know who owned it. Artists sell their paintings all the time.
