I have been in a " gallery" in St. Petersburg at the St. Nicholas Cathedral . My good friend bought a few things " with a guarantee ." Led her to a certain Vladimir - former athlete .
But it was a place called " the poor ", but there is also a more serious organization, producing clones under the existing expertise in the real thing. This is a general " subsurface method." Take some wonderful Luba and Serov , or Kustodiev, rent it indefinitely to the examination , you get endless paper for $ 1,000 each , and a paper produce clones. Of course, not be abused , but 1-2 " copies" are .
There is a " respectable " institution specializing in this kind of forgery . All who need to know the address and owner , but ... "walk is slippery on the stones other then that we'd better shut up close ." Though, sooner or later, every secret is revealed.
