A global search by the Tate gallery has unearthed 500 lost works by JMW Turner. Some have never been seen in public; others have not been displayed since the death of possibly Britain's most important painter.
Discovered: the 500 missing masterpieces of J M W Turner
J M W Turner's first sketchbooks, filled with landscapes, showed the talent that would make him a founding father of English watercolours:
The painter of light who left a lasting impression

Really, Walter, this is wonderful....
I went to an exhibition of his sketch books at the Tate a few years ago - it was WONDERFUL - they were so free and so contemporary. I would love to have a book on them.
This is off the subject a bit, but about 6 weeks ago I saw a painting on ebay billed as a Kahlo, Freda, and it certianly looked like her style and paintings which I had just reviewed in a bookat Barnes and Noble. It was a self portrait. It had one bid, for $500 and that was the start price, It was reported to have a small hole. did anybody see this and what do you think about it's authenticity?
Welcome to A2K, zincwhite!
Perhaps you'll get more attraction with your question, when you pose it in an own, separate thread.
