Artist's Good News

An artist asked the gallery owner if there had been any interest in his paintings on display at that time. The owner replied:

- I have good news and bad news.

- The good news is that a gentleman inquired about your work and wondered if it would appreciate in value after your death. When I told him it would, he bought all 15 of your paintings.

- That's wonderful - the artist exclaimed.

- What's the bad news?
