Van Gogh sold exactly one painting during his lifetime. After he died
his work
was discovered. If his executor had destroyed Van Gogh's paintings
after his death as
worthless junk we'd know nothing of him today except for that one work.

Let me connect the dots for you Herb.
You have said, if it doesn't sell, it is junk.
I have pointed out that Vincent Van Gogh didn't sell during his
lifetime.
By your logic, his paintings were junk.
But as luck would have it, taste changed (got better to my eye),
and Vincent's paintings are now worth millions.
