Oh this is easy,
MOST DEFINITELY NO. 2!!!!!!!!!!! And, it doesn't require any sensitivity or agonizing or really any choice. All you need to do is apply simple logic. You see...if the painting has become famous and worth millions in auction the thief now has a terrible dilemma. He has an international art reputation and an opportunity to make even more millions, but he doesn't have the talent to satisfy this suddenly hungry market. You too have a problem. You have talent but no reputation. Simple economic analysis suggests there is a common solution to both your dilemmas. You then offer to paint more works for this guy to sell as his own, if you get 50% of the profits. And, you make it a limited contract. You force him to take you on as his "protege" so you now develop a reputation in the art world. At a certain point he "retires" and you are left to paint on your own, now firmly established in art circles. |

What is interesting is that there are people on both sides saying it is obvious that their choice is correct. I suppose it is a kind of decision we make that really defines us as one or the other.... no in between.

#1. The fact that I sold the piece in the first place means that I am creating Art for others, not for myself. Therefore I got out of the artwork what I intended to get which was the money.
#2. I don't care that I missed out on the money or the fame. If it's my finest master piece, it makes me happy that I was able to create it. I'm sad that it was stolen because I did not create it for others, I created it for me. Therefore I choose #1 because I got out of my Art what I intended. |

Naturally there are those who's answer differs from mine. And just as naturally they think that it is the right answer. However, logic speaks against their explinations. My response of the first scenario is the correct one.

WTH didn't anyone say #2 and when the artwork surfaces you trace down the SOB and beat his ass. Then have him arrested for theft?
