Chagall's paintings brought to Japan by the Moscow Museum of Modern Art - a fake?
Paintings of Marc Chagall "Family", "Fiddler" and "Portrait of a Woman", which brought in Japan, Moscow Museum of Modern Art - is a fake. This informed the Japanese organizers of the exhibition, the Committee Chagall (Paris), newspaper "Asahi".

"Technology, which met these three works, says that it does not step", - noted the rights holders and demanded that the painting was removed from the exposure. The Japanese side, in turn, said that its experts "have not the slightest doubt about the authenticity. Nevertheless, this situation may adversely affect the schedule of exhibitions. In particular, the next exhibition due to open September 25 in Osaka. Organizers, the newspaper said, insisting that Moscow Museum of Modern Art and the Chagall Committee held direct talks to resolve the disputed issue.

June 21 Moscow Museum of Modern Art opened Japan's first exhibition of Russian avant-garde. In it, in addition to Marc Chagall, works by many other artists, including Natalia Goncharova, Niko Pirosmani and Kasimir Malevich.

For the entire list can easily be continued. Predictable. These works have long been considered to put it mildly, controversial. " Why were taken to show these "masterpieces" - is unclear. What a joy when you poked your finger? Thus in tseretellevskom museum has a good collection and works of the sixties and contemporary art, without any doubt the authenticity. Why "decorate" it Rozanov, Malevich and loose Pirosmani, again, incomprehensible.

This collection Zaripova you mean? It was exhibited there in the spring and early summer.

I think not only. It is very good meeting and the sixties, and contemporary art. Many things passed relatives of artists, many - by the authors themselves - in short, an indisputable provenance. A list of Chagall, Goncharova, Malevich Pirosmani and can be supplemented, at least Lentulov and Cluny. While we want to believe that Pirosmani this - very beautiful work.

Not up to date, and was in the museum at Petrovka in the middle of summer, everything was in place:) Maybe I still have pictures, look for:)

To paraphrase qwerty, wrapped in a real Golden Fleece.

I'm not a big fan of naive art, but they think stops. And as for the rune, almost certainly, you're right, alas.

Executive Director MMSI Vasily Tsereteli, in a conversation with the correspondent Lenty.ru "described it as" working point "and explained that the three disputed works do not pass through Paris Chagall fund, so there can not attest to their authenticity. But the artist in the 1960's and 1970's to make sure it - indeed his early paintings.

Similarly the authenticity of their works, are in the museum, confirmed due to the spirits of Malevich, Filonov Lentulova and Pirosmani.

My friend says this: The Museum of questionable art.

But then the important proviso that the post-war art and Contemporary Russian art in the museum fairly strong selection, as if there is a lot to see. And by the way, the atmosphere is friendly - very felt on the background of a number of other museums. Remove to this "vanguard" to the store and was used not to find fault with anything.

The main question remains - Why was taken to Japan?
Legalized?
Latter case when the answers just bad.

There are a lot of questions, first, why buy? Apparently, there was some sort of scheme of work with a budget (I can not believe that Zurab so does not understand the art). Secondly, all right, bought, have mastered the budget, why was hanged, why not hide in the farthest Zapasnik? And it just looks like a wild idea to show it outside the museum. It seems now that the museum run by people with a very peculiar world view, something we are not available.

qwerty, I also asked such questions, thought and thought up: "And I want it?"
