i guess it depends where you find it:-)

If it was stolen to begin with, then "yes". If, however, it was discovered/uncovered stored away in an old home behind the wallboards and belonged to the person who put it there, then no..it was found! :)

;) like angel1974 said, depends on where it was "found" lol! i'm gathering up things now to try my hand at making some found art, ought to be fun ;)

not sure you understand what "found art" is... "The term found art—more commonly found object (French: objet trouvé) or readymade—describes art created from the undisguised, but often modified, use of objects that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a mundane, utilitarian function. Marcel Duchamp was the originator of this in the early 20th-century." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Found_art

Not necessarily. Lots of rediscovered Nazi stolen art that is found by people exploring Austrian caves by mountain climbers really can't be stolen if they found it on a whim.

A few may be. But most of them come from places where these Art works are kept with out knowing the value.
