Theft, fraud
 

on the advice of the distinguished dedulya37 create this theme.
Many had to deal with theft and fraud.
Stolen goods is desirable to "know the face."
I think this topic would be of interest to all forum participants.
To start lecturing two photos stolen 1991. paintings.

Maybe so: "missing under mysterious circumstances." ?

Missing in Spain
 

Below are four of Stozharov VF, who drove in the exhibition in Spain.
Just make a reservation: images are what are. Do not expect anything grand. The names below the picture.
It was a troubled time adjustment and society cracking at the seams.
Nobody could answer the question where are all the same has got the whole show, although people involved in this issue, swirling in the art business so far. Obviously triggered the principle of "collective irresponsibility". And, despite the fact that the written any letters of complaint somewhere, signed any petitions, the exhibition vanished without a trace. But the hope of clarity on this issue is not leaving.
Maybe someone has to add something to this post.

The overall situation, such stories are very much unfortunately.

People really unsavory lot.
But the fight that can and should. Necessary to create a vacuum around the crooks and thieves.
Even if you can not find the stolen item, return it in practice is not feasible.
Remain silent, too, not worth it. From the hands of fraudsters may suffer other decent people.

And you tried to apply to himself "Dorotheum"? They also must be the coordinates of the person who rented. And the statute of limitations on such cases, it seems, no. Or is there?

No, I'm not a lawyer.
understand perfectly well that these two and the huge number of stolen from his father in 1991. paintings changed many owners before you get to the "Dorotheum".
Sometimes I become aware that the stolen painting "float"
Again I repeat, I am not a lawyer, not criminologist, not a detective. Not for someone to chase and anger is not going to punish anyone. Not enough health and zhizni.Nemnogo later try to lay out photos and other loss. I can only be naive to rely only on the conscience and decency illegal owners.
This subject is open for exchange rather sad experience and information stolen.

Better to let the current owners know that they own stolen.
A potential future owners will also know about it.
Indeed, if you wish, you can restore the entire chain.
And illegal owners can declare an amnesty to the proof of authorship of the family.

Another question
Maybe someone knows who these people are and what I could get to them this picture http://www.realismo.gazzerro.com/ind...&Itemid=88
link to the site http://ryasnyansky.com to me was a huge surprise.
To quote from the memoirs of Michael Ryasnyanskii 23/ХІІ. 97g.: ... I have since this picture and another, which he called "precinct" presented to the regional Department of Internal Affairs, where they are now exhibited in the museum ...

totally agree with the distinguished dedulya37
There is no desire to swim in the mud.
Paintings that in no way guilty. They were not created in order to hide them and what you fear.

Initiative is very correct, has recently crossed with some officials (especially not speak nor where nor when, nor with anyone, anything will change) and he said that they have a database of stolen artworks, through the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I invited him to post it on our site. In response, the official said five minutes, all of the words were understandable, but the general sense was absent. In the words of the person I thought of the idea he does not think: either useful, if feasible, and may I did not looked, about the site did not hear anything.

If you start to spread yourself here, how to avoid bullying? How to check the truth or it is stolen hex?

This is already a serious conversation, I think that in this situation you have to give the real names of the authors of the theft and their contacts can keep it all in the administration forum. Somehow ...

By the way:
That is a bit ridiculous to resent the criminal actions of one who himself is entirely criminalized. "A thief from a thief stole a stick" is shorter.

This is you talking about the art market?
