- nkrisc 1y agoSeems like he does, because those who have them are honoring his wishes.
- jart 1y agoIf they were smart, what they would do is sell them directly to consumers who will cherish them and give the paintings good homes. Then make the buyers sign a contract of some sort that they can't be resold for X number of years. That way the paintings bring joy and value to others, while respecting Bob's wishes of not being a commodity.

- shaklee3 1y agothere's a documentary about this, and the people who own the rights screwed over Bob and are purely there to exploit him. they have nothing to do with his family.
- rcstank 1y agoWho are "the people" you're referring to?
- jart 1y agoEveryone outside the cardboard boxes they’ve got them in, who might experience joy from seeing the paintings IRL.
