"Unknown" from SOVKOMA
 

Mysterious is the word "unknown"!
Alone elevates it to the world level, such as sculptors.
Others - the opposite way and leaves in complete obscurity.

Looking through the pre-auction catalog Sovkoma on December 3, 2009, I discovered the work of an unknown artist, it seemed to me, familiar. A closer examination I discovered the following:
1. And work something signed in the lower right corner, then have the artist can not be "unknown". Signed - Stozharau. Do business with Raymond Johnson of the Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis so bad that he decided to sell their work on Sovkome?
2. And the size shown on the work of some strange - 185 x 153. Judging by his work must be vertical, and it horizontal, and even in the proportions of almost 1:2. Here's something from Ray Johnson's right-size 97 x 183
3. In Ray's work is called "Karpogory. Well.", And this somehow "Rural landscape." Perhaps "unknown" did not know where these wells Russian people are building.
4. Want to get a good price for the work Sovkomovtsy measuring 2 m - 832-1040 $, there probably is not Ray, he had a one way ticket costs so much.

But what I am wondering? Let's wait for the auction and lead us all to explain. It is a pity that in the printed catalog this information will not erase what is written pen ...

Right image from Ray Johnson.

P.S. Interestingly, but not any more at the auction "unknown" for the signature of Repin, for example?

dedulya37 on your post "Sovkom" responded promptly (forum read :)), additional information has been included in the message about the item:
  "Additional information: A copy of a painting by the artist Stozharov VF"

Interesting, but what about the signature? It turns out "unknown" forged the signature of the original.

I did not understand, and perhaps copies of other people's works signed the name of it. with whom copy?

But the signature is worth Stozharau, and this is called a fake ..
If a copy of the picture (That and the writing on the painting: "With Stozharov painting, drawing Vanya Pupkin" and not forge the signature of the artist.).

Most real quick wash off the signature, something would have embarrassed anyone :shy:

From the rear, would have to write "copy", something no one would be tempted to sell as the original nebylo :cool:

Do not pull this slabushka on counterfeiting, well, not that one!
Stozharov fake-little school here, there's talent must have ...

Totally agree!! but we all know what awful "slabushki" go hand ..... and forgery Stozharov not the first nor the last - unfortunately

It's very interesting what documents are to this work? :)
Certificates, passports, etc. where the work Is the representative SovKoma himself to tell about the history of this work? ;)

How I'd seen this work. IS WITH HIM FALSHAK Brod, BROD Realizing that nothing comes even RESOLVED, paint, canvas and recapture SELL though for how much. THIS Wallpapers!
