simply to distribute information to the business shrank. It thrives because of all confer: unknown sculptor Mr. (pun out?) M man, the speculator's and etc. It would be named with names, facts and photos - all would be easier.

Well, to disseminate this information is not for me, anyway, without the permission of the victim. But I want to say, people also know what they do - buy for 4000 dollars casting, which the author is no less than 20000, go bad!

I also have some experience: eighteen months ago, a collector sent me a photograph of painting portraits, which were given for Roginsky. I replied that no relationship to Roginsky this portrait does not (it was not even a forgery, but simply the work of some unknown author to me. I assume that this was a portrait of Roginsky, although there is no resemblance of a portrait). Then a couple of times this image in electronic form back to me, the last time he sent me a power which was brought to the Tretyakov Gallery for examination, but he refused to attribute his Roginsky. In short, I told everyone about this picture, which, as I understand it, walked all over Moscow.
And suddenly it turns out that another collector of my acquaintance became the owner of the ill-fated portrait.

Well, what are you going to do?

I do not know whether you remember, I once wrote that she found on the cyber-auction in the United States falsification, I even ran her picture. Since then I have consulted with his French lawyer, who told me that in general, something we can do very little, because they wrote "is attributed to Roginsky" (although I do not understand how you can "assign" the artist painting on which it stands signature - or is it work or is a fake - and the opinion of gallery owners, certain Havrilyukov "A gallery with thirty years of experience, put it up for auction, it is clear, otherwise they would not appreciate it in 1000-2000 dollars). Either way, he said that the only thing we can do is write to them to understand that I keep abreast of Misha, and stopped his gesheft.
So we did, but the feeling of powerlessness, which said Frosinka, I knew well
