Eugene, now at Western auctions very carefully look at the provenance Russian predmetov.Skandaly they do not need, poverte.Oni even removed from the auction items before the auction if they were given to understand dubious origin or podlinnosti.Eto very often now byvaet.Paru lots now, I shot zhdu.Oni will appear later, I hope, but perhaps as N /h...Takaya now they practice.

The next story I told Valery Dudakov, chairman of the Moscow club of collectors, Sotheby's expert on Russian art.
Before restructuring VAD worked as chief designer Aprelevsky plant records. Once, at a friend's birthday, he made him a gift: painted in the style Popova. After many years in London he found the work of lots among the upcoming auction, which shall immediately be reported to the leadership of Sotheby's. The answer to him was: we pay you as an expert, here and shut up. The work was sold as Popov for a very decent amount.
Two years ago at Bonems in London was offered absolutely false Malevich. We (five people slightly knowledgeable people) has long urged executives to withdraw the lot. Could not, work at the auction have not bought, but tried to sell it.
Such examples can bring tens. So especially on the honesty of the Western auctions do not count.
