Jackson pollack, I presume? No doubt some MOMA fan paid big bucks for it. Big exhibition @ a west coast art museum: a series of canvases with sponges glued to them, all painted grey. I bet the "artist" laughed himself sick, as he cashed the check.
Few years back a guy at MIT took random utensils from the cafeteria, and submitted it to a serious art exhibit - as a joke. Iirc, he won third prize. It's in their museum now.
