Deja vu with V. Kalinin and Glazunov at Sotheby-2
 

Yesterday I received from Christie's by e-mail notification that they cancel the sale of paintings Kalinina "scene in the village, put up for auction of Russian art 24.04.09, lot 376, citing the fact that the artist, supposedly, did not confirm it authorship, as well as my inability to give them documents that would prove the authenticity of the work or the fact of its purchase by me in France, that is provenance.
A few days earlier, but after the auction, they also informed me that the buyer de doubt the authenticity of the work ...

I still had full confidence in its authenticity, as well as the expert group site, which has placed the investment risk of the picture green!
To write such a picture should be thought of as Kalinin and enjoy his artistic skills!
As dealer with 5 years experience (not so hot, of course, but still) declare that the canvas is just the eighties, that does not contradict the dating, the signature is clear, similar to the byline!

And generally surprised that the U.S. Auctions often start "waving his arms after the fight, the problem I face is not the first time! Penny the price that they be specialists get?

Dear forum users, have someone have access to the VA Kalinin, I know that he is now living in the States, but nevertheless, often in Russia ...
I would like to ask a question of authenticity directly to him!

What is your opinion about the authenticity of this work?

With regard to contact with Kalinininym see l /sec.

What a horrible story, imagine how good you do not ...

Yes, you are right. But I do not despair - the life something is going on!
This exhibit photo-like paintings Kalinina, Bohams sold at auction in 2007.

The situation is complicated, if the artist himself did not confirm? What could be the view?
It must be the author of the picture all the issues to be addressed.

similarity
Indeed, such "painting, and artistic skills are, but the author's style - another.

John Preston, and you yourself know the history of existence of this picture? Do you have reason enough to be absolutely sure of its authenticity (if not documented, at least at the level of information)? I do not ask them to lead, the question is whether they exist at all?
And another question: as I understand, Kalinin, according to the auction, the authorship is not confirmed. And who, indeed, turned to him? Experts auction? The new owner?

Experts auction accessed. At the level of media - painting purchased in France, the person who sold it to me, claimed that the inherited pattern of the recently deceased father, who bought it from the artist himself.

John Preston, wine auction house, 100%, given your information, that the picture in the auction house is almost god.Mozhno been a long time to consult with the author.
Best regards.

I agree! So the case and situation!
And what I claim they can produce?
Sue or what? : eek:

Wrote a letter to representatives of the artist, they promised to show a picture Vyacheslav Vasilyevich as unsubscribe - will let you know.
