He touched it while moving a blank one and never touched it again.
He started it and threw it out half finished. Some body found the half finished one and "finished" it for him
Some body brought a painting to him to look at in his studio. He touched. Later somebody else painted over the first painting but leaving the finger print.
From the posted article it seems most agree it isn't his style. Now maybe that's why he threw it out. But the finger print at most proves he touched it.
Well, now I saw the broadcast of this 60 Mintues segment and they had a section where the man who ran the local dump in which Pollack dumped his trash had scavenged a few of the canvases to make signs. One side was a "No Trespassing" sign, the other a partial Pollack rejected painting!
Could be a painting that Pollack wasn't happy with that got tossed but somehow didn't get burned or turned into a dump sign...
