Here Eugene noted that some expert advice should, in cooperation with the heirs, to judge the authenticity of paintings. I must, of course, it is a pity, to live in a time of great ...
Because many of our distinguished experts (we will not, of course, name names), in a situation where they were brought to study the work of a famous Soviet artist freshly bought from his heirs - not because he had doubts about the authenticity, but only for the presence of a "priceless piece of paper" , topped with a seal of solid institutions, onaya ekspertsha his "research" svle to that rang heirs and clarify whether the work was bought from them. After that, and was given a magic bumazhentsiya, paid properly.
Everyone is happy: the dealer who has a picture not only with the provenance, but also with the conclusion of an art, an heir who has made a nice deal, and the expert who has received big bucks at a time without the intellectual costs.
However, this situation is good only if the heir is honest with others. That's how I know, no one art dealer or collector could accuse Alexander of uncleanliness.
Avoid the issues - I am not a PR agent Alexander and, frankly, not a special admirer of his father, just a good example.
A question of decency heirs, but must admit, and the artists themselves - is, I believe, a topic for separate discussion. A striking example - the work of a Moscow artist, exhibited at the Saturday auction Art-Union. It will be interesting, let's discuss it.
