As well as lots 9, 31, 32, 35, 42, among Burliuks have a couple of questionable.
A Roginskii (lots 133, 134, 135) this?
Generally Shapiro progresses, auctions are becoming better in quality and quantity.

Self-portrait with a toothbrush (Lot 133) like this. In any case I wrote and asked to know if it sells (I'm not familiar with the owner, but I know the dealer who sold the painting, it is reproduced in the catalog of the exhibition «Here and There; Then and Now. Contemporary Artists from the Former Soviet Union ». National Jewish Museum, Washington USA, 1994).

Still Life (Lot 134) was sold at auction MacDougall year ago, I was a little surprised that so soon again put up for sale, and almost the same money, but it happens ...

In the third work - just miracles: this spring at MacDougall was sold a very similar work, and I know who it exhibited, so that issues of authenticity does not arise (picture number 1).

Both works are written on the tree (this is the first owner of the MacDougall found somewhere of wood, the door of the locker or something like that, and asked Misha to write on it anything).

Of course, the color is all lies substantially, but compare it with the picture number 2

- It works exhibited at the Shapiro - except for the location of the signature and the number of firefighters, it's the same job in the mirror

(picture number 3 - that I "turned" now Shapiro).

Two almost identical work, especially since both - on the doors of the lockers - Roginsky could not write, he had a lot of series with one story, but all of one series is always different.

That's such a wonderful disposition turns. Not yet decided what to do, like decide - I tell it

In fact, I understand that to do anything possible. Of course, I can call or write, or ask my lawyer to write Shapiro, and what will happen? Work with trades, he probably would not withdraw ...
I'll try, You never can tell, but I will not hide, I set very pessimistic.
