The plot thus far: 300 pieces of art. An art collector dies without a will. Art auction houses start selling. Someone does their homework (or, in artspeak, checks the provenance).

What's the betting this gets made into a mini-drama TV series some time even if the real owners of the artworks are never all traced? Read the full news story on the Guardian...
