Art in Nature by Tove Jansson
An elderly caretaker at a large outdoor exhibition, called Art in Nature, finds that a couple have lingered on to bicker about the value of a picture; he has a surprising suggestion that will resolve both their row and his own ambivalence about the art market.
That there can still be as-yet untranslated fiction by Jansson is simultaneously an aberration and a delight, like finding buried treasure-- Ali Smith
