Please do get started! You can't just leave hints like that and not give us the full scoop!

Let's just say that one day I found myself in the Tate Gallery with a Mondrian that needed some work... tech consultancy takes you into the most interesting places.

Surely the issue is estates (in this sense) in general. Did anyone in the estate actually know the guy whose legacy they're supposed to be protecting?

How does paying money to Mondrian's great great great great grandchildren enhance society?

Magritte is another such case, with a litigious Magritte Foundation. I guess he would have been somewhat amused at the absurdity of it all.
