So the Margaret Keane family portrait that always seemed odd looking to me, is up for sale at 100,000 dollars. Apparently the seller was sold the painting 5 yrs ago, under the stipulation that they not sell it for 5 yrs. I'm assuming the seller paid this amount of money to the son "managing" the estate. This sounds extremely shady and like they were waiting for either Jerry or Patti to die, to sell it. Also the fact that it says Patti died?? She's alive still. If this was a family friend, or son, they wouldn't be saying this. This has to be either Chris or Anthony's handiwork again. Anthony's ex wife is selling off all of Jerry and Patti's possessions on ebay, that Patti had kept, to go towards her care supposedly. I highly doubt any money is going toward her care. www.laweekly.com/arts/this-1962-jerry-lewis-portrait-by-margaret-keane-exists-and-its-on-view-in-santa-monica-9391024

if patti is still alive the entire article makes no sense. and isn’t there an actual executor to JL’s estate? and if the painting belongs to (living) patti since the divorce, unless she has an authorized power of attorney, for instance the mysterious ‘son’, .....that’s theft. what a nasty business...

A classic example of something that should stay in the family. I wonder which son sold it to begin with.

anarchistemma Wouldn't be the first time that some of the sons committed theft of family possessions, or of artwork for that matter.... 4 of 6 sons had stolen something from their parents houses in the past, that's including Joseph. Only Ronald and Scott, I haven't seen or heard bad stuff about. denise Either Chris or Anthony are my bets. Both have sold stuff online. Chris sold stuff to random people and they have sold those things on ebay and mentioned that he is the one who the items came from. Anthony's ex wife sells a bunch of stuff on ebay for thousands of dollars also.

Classickat, send me an ebay link on what Anthony's ex is selling. I can't find anything right off on ebay. I'm just curious.

Here is the video of the auction of the family portrait. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw1EqZ-Ey8AI had real tears in my eyes watching this. This just isn't right. I only hope the purchaser knows the true value of this painting or has some connecton to the family. Since the auction house is in Santa Monica, and not in LA or Vegas, that might point to the son who sold it to begin with.
