a simple question - which was viewed by experts buyer before the transaction

I already wrote about it, but again, repeat. Direct obligation of the prestigious auction house is put up for auction only authentic work. To do this, they have their own specialists, catalogs, library, archives, etc. In special cases involve experts from outside.
Let everyone remember yourself before the auction, which bought the painting. How often have you attracted experts before you buy?
No Vekselberg, nor Aurora Fund did not have to involve experts for the simple reason:

- Christie's - Auction with a sound reputation.
- The picture had a history of selling at the same Christie's.
- Was put up for viewing in Moscow.
- And most importantly, 5-year money-back guarantee, if you have 2 negative examinations.

And even if the pre-auction show would be an expert, how could he be the technical and laboratory study of the paintings, on the basis of which were made questionable conclusions?

Now that the court will oblige Christie money back, then Christie's, probably will return their hard-earned, because the seller has nothing to do with it, he bought the work at the same Christie's in 1989.

In any case, what would we all write and what kind of temperament is not a story would cause among the members of the forum, you must wait for a court decision. Solve-it is not us but them. And the solution can be very, very intrigiruyuschim. And the famous phrase before the court: "And who are the judges?" takes on new meaning: "Experts who?"
