Many Aivazovsky
 

For all the auctions have always sold a lot of Aivazovsky. And the rumor about the huge number of fakes is Aivazovsky's probably a reason.
What is the opinion of experts about the prospects of investment in it?

And a separate question to the ACG.
Where looks examination?
What statistics? Who is the forgery in reality?

Anton,
Expertise - this is a very broad concept, Russia generally large country. And who is where it looks God knows :-) I can answer only for our organization.
Statistics course is, and Aivazovsky it not for the leading positions, while there Ignatova and Petrov (as if it has not included), really bad will not.

Top 10 authors from the latest 100 counterfeit works.
The absolute number of 100 works by 70 were non-genuine.

1. Perelitsovki-(Gorbatova, Oryol, Levitan, Shishkin, Lagorio, clover, Polenova Bogolyubov - Westerners in one word)
2. Pirosmani
3. Exter
4. Levitan
5. Mashkov
7. Larionov
8. Serov
9. Kandinsky
10. Konstantin Korovin

known that Aivazovsky, a soldier (NCO), was a very organized person and very sensitive to the order. Perhaps because of this quality, he wrote all his work: the name, size, when and where to set up, and even that they represented (though not all) ... So, the number of works in this list has more than 4 times less than the number of works sold during the last 5 years at auctions. Draw your own conclusions)

Interestingly, and this is where something has been published, you have no chance of information, where you can read about it, may have links to the literature? "I would be very grateful.
With uvazhenieem Eugene.

Can anyone prigoditsa!
