In the announcement of Shapiro writes the following:
Shapiro, Evgeny (Gene Shapiro) was born in St Petersburg. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in art history. Has a Certificate of the Royal Society of Arts of Great Britain. Before you open your own auction house, Eugene Shapiro studied at Christie's, and spent several years in the department of modern art Sotheby's. In addition, he has extensive experience with the works of Russian art in New York as a collector and private dealer.

Gene Shapiro Auctions LLC enjoys well-deserved attention to both American and international media. At the auction of the house exhibited a large number of valuable works of Russian art, found in private U.S. collections. I must say that for many knowledgeable collectors of America has always been an important source of Russian art, but places where they can get, unfortunately, not so much. So the company is proud of how his work as well as accessibility for customers.

And actually looks different!
I already wrote about that Shapiro is selling questionable (read: fake!) Work.
From his statements about the sale of forged works he exposes the following arguments!
Say Alan Penzler (connoisseur of A. Manevich and author of the monograph) for his opinion of this person means nothing.
Although well-known auction houses like Christie Sotebis and consult with him and the comments written about it.
2. I conducted a comprehensive study of the purchased work by Shapiro and signed Manevich.
All the results of chemical analysis of the paint layer is said that the work was not written until the second half of the 20 th century.
And the Kiev and Moscow chemists chemists makes the analysis are united in their opinion.
And for Shapiro and it is not an argument! What? A?
"The largest Russian art expert ???"

I am sure that the forum there are still people who have suffered losses from the sale of fakes on its auctions. I remember I had a conversation with one person.
Please respond to those and write each of his "happy" acquisition.
I think that this auctioneers should be counter-advertising.
In order not to suffer potential buyers.
