For some people declared that they were supposedly working on a "catalogue raisonne". It looks ridiculous, because no one except me, did not work with archival materials heir Exter - Simon Lissima. In such controversial statements - short life. How can we seriously address the artist, even if you never saw his archive? But in this sense, Exter, alas, not alone, this happens with some other Russian artists of that time: the demand for their work is automatically accompanied by the demand for documentation. Today, many think that such documentation easier to create from scratch, of course, with one purpose - to sell counterfeit, which, unfortunately, in recent years has divorced a great many.

I think this addresses an important problem.
Very often in the market to describe works of art indicates that this work will be included in the union catalog of the author, prepared imyarek. For the inexperienced is like a pledge of authenticity, selling things.
Meanwhile, even the existing catalogs do not give 100 percent guarantee. Cooking is such a publication is not automatically mean that it ever will. Can decade, the number of authors intended publication,
Acquire the authority among the uninformed expert, specialist and even the expert. God be with him, with lzheavtoritetom if this work had no commercial motive.
For example, one can often find a message that is a product of O. Rabin and Y. Annenkov will be included in the catalogue raisonné.
In the first case the author is alive and could compensate for ignorance of the compilers, if declared many years ago, the intention was not only a cover for infiltration by collectors with commercial intent and expanding clientele.
The second case is so blatant that the plan of the entrepreneurial brothers will never come true, because R. Guerra, owner of the archive of Yury Annenkov and extensive collection of his works had categorically stated that he would never give them the disposition of the drafters. Their competence and decency may signal "expertise" of one of the brothers at the Russian sales of auction «HAMPEL», where he is an official expert.
Nevertheless, they continue to hang safely categorical labels: "This Annenkov," This is not Annenkov. And for many market participants nebezboleznenno these things.
Examples are given only to illustrate the problem. They could continue in the non-Russian subjects.
Healthy core art market could, do something, to work out against the activities of such impostors.
