Picture Oscar Rabin

[SergeiSK]

Where a year and a half ago, my friend from the USA gave me this picture of this Oscar Rabin. Myself I would never buy because nonconformists I do not like. Not all of course. Tselkov Krasnopevtsev for me, and interior painting, see the work of Rabin and fall into depression, too dramatic, just want to drink vodka. But Veisberg love, I have had it work. So here First I would like to sell it, but looking at the rise in prices for Rabin, did not do it. And I think correctly.
Something about the picture:
Sam canvas completely pulls the age of 30-40-year canvas. Nails also those times, some of them rusty. Frame according to the tree, too, in those years. The painting itself is covered with a sort of varnish, which from time curled. I had such a picture. Especially the old, which was covered with low-quality paint, such as parquet, and he removed it. Or it occurred from improper storage of pictures, constant temperature difference. Painting itself in good condition, smear distinct, very pasty, on the back of the canvas is number 78. Size 40x50 cm, 1971. And the impression that the painting was originally larger size and then somehow cut off. It was bought by my friend several years ago in a good antique shops in Chicago.
I want to ask - someone knows grandfather Rabin? In order to show him photographs of this painting. What will he say? His work there? Only bother me one case of which I laughed and horror in her eyes told a familiar gallery owner. They brought Rabin to Paris a few pictures on the attribution. And these pictures were for a long time he had personally purchased and some of them even signed by one person. So Oscar Yakovlevich did not recognize any of his authorship, nor the man who had bought the paintings, and to whom these pictures he signed. I would not like this. And to go to the experts at living author - a sacrilege.
Well, ask and evaluate.
