By Timon Woodward

LONDON – Painter Tomas Georgeson has artfully tried to drum up attendance at a London gallery by hiding $12,500 -- most of his life savings -- among the paintings and other artworks for the taking if anyone can find it. Georgeson has left the blank check for £8,000 ($12,600) in the Milton Keynes Gallery (shown above).
