Hello uriart,
With great "curiosity and interest, monitor your statements on this forum. Frankly - absolutely did not want to interfere in the flow of your exposures, but felt it necessary to finally do it, for any patient sooner or later ends. So, on the purchased and you mentioned Manevich. Let me remind you of the following:
1. Once you (after 28 days from the end of the auction - and this is important) to express your doubts about the authenticity of the work you went to a meeting and offered to pick up this work again to put on auctions (for neither then nor now, I do not share your confidence in their unoriginality). Moreover, I predlozhl you return the commission - on which you, as you recall, did not agree.
2. Then, after these 28-and data to you for any examination day, we made payments to all clients and customers. By the way, I do not know the principle of Russian or Ukrainian auctions, but most of the international auction for this do not give a single day - each transaction is final and not subject to revision. Christie's and Sotheby's offer and up to five years, but the conditions that must be met are the same as ours - namely, to provide expertise on mutually recognized expert (the expert opinion which satisfies both sides). Your expert did not satisfy this requirement.
3. Regarding Pensler Gallery - firstly, this gallery specializes in American art
http://www.pensler.com/About.htm As far as I know Penzler bought the remaining legacies Manevich not have heirs and after passing through the second and third arms dealers. What kind of evidence may in this case, we talk about? Especially since I never heard that he had acted as an expert on creativity Manevich except for the last couple of years. Moreover, - attention! - Specified by you painting "Beyond The Trees" to my auction was exhibited at Bonhams. If Mr. Penzler believed that the work is not true and the specified auction allowed it to bid, why did this happen? Why Mr. Penzler is not broke? Unknown.
4. I can only guess why you are trying to ruin my reputation by publishing your comments in this forum, but let me ask you one last question - as I know apart from you Manevich was purchased at my auction a large number of works whose authenticity is not likely to cause you no doubt - so why do you absolutely no mention of them? Strangely
Yours
