I'm 30 years of creative work of Alexandra Exter, and therefore closely monitor all related publications. Andrei Nakova was a series of interviews in the Russian press, where he constantly repeated that keeps the archive Exter. But for all these years, for 30 years, this archive is not published a word. The man, who claims to accuracy and knowledge of the facts, only one small book about Alexandra Exter - in essence, a catalog of the very first exhibition in the gallery of Jean Shovlena in 1972. At the end of her curriculum vitae Exter - and a lot of mistakes, starting literally from the first line. List of works, which Exter passed them Lissimu, no one saw. It is strange that Nakov, repeating about it, its not published.

Is the origin of the work from the collection of Simon Lissima confirmation of its authenticity?
 
It is not clear that this heritage was. I have not seen any of his list. I can only say that Simon himself Lissy sincere attitude to Alexandra Exter, cared for her during the war. But he is not very well versed in her work, many do not know.
This work of art Lissima, which sold at Christie `s the name of Exter. But it is known and published the work of Esther Shimerovoy 1931, donated it to Alexandra Exter. When I showed the auction catalog Esther Shimerovoy, she said: "I am honored that I was accepted for Asya.
Second example - the work of Amelia Pelaez, Cuban student of Alexandra Exter. Sold as the work of Exter. This is not fake - this is an incorrect attribution. This work is now in Moscow. She has a certificate and a certificate Lissima Nakova that it Exter.

In Exter was a lot of students in Kiev, Moscow and Paris. All stated that she was severely affecting the artist. All perceived her ideas, and many of her students was eksterovsky period. Therefore, there are things that are difficult to distinguish. This is a problem for attribution.
