Grand Rapids Idol

Friday, October 23, 2009

At this fall's ArtPrize -- the massive visual arts contest in Grand Rapids, Michigan -- 37,000 members of the public voted for their favorite work. A 19-foot-wide oil painting, "Open Water no. 24," beat out more than 1,200 entries. Kurt spoke to winner Ran Ortner about how the prize has changed his life -- and made him a quarter million dollars richer.
