Son of the People's Artist of Georgia and the USSR, the former rector of the Academy of Fine Arts of Georgia Apollon Kutateladze /1899-1972 gg /Karaman Kutateladze called "false" reports that the so-called "The current owner of" picture Niko Pirosmani "Black Lion" some years ago allegedly arrived in Tbilisi and allegedly bought the painting from the family Kutateladze. Artist Karaman Kutateladze, who is acting director in Tbilisi Center for Contemporary Art, said the painting "Black Lion" was "abducted from the family Kutateladze Tbilisi in 1993 as a result of an armed robbery of criminals."

He noted that law enforcement bodies of Georgia at the same time launched an investigation, and later the painting was declared to be pursued. "None of the so-called current owners to our family did not contact either by phone or in person, no one came to us in Georgia and, of course, no one bathed in our picture of the" Black Lion ", which since 1910 is the property of our family" - said Kutateladze. According to him, "painting" Black Lion "should be returned to the family Kutateladze, no matter who it is now." "In case of return patterns in Georgia, our family will give it to the museum," - he said.
Experts note that "among the works of famous artist Niko Pirosmani /1862-1918 n /a picture" Black Lion "and" spree Malakal "extremely valuable".
April 18 Acting Head Rosokhrankultura Viktor Petrakov said in Moscow that the picture NM Pirosmani "Black Lion", exhibited at the Russian Antiques Salon in Moscow, was actually kidnapped and is being sought. "Its a few years ago at an auction to its present owner. Later learned that the product being sought, he went to Tbilisi and bought it from the artist's family of Apollo Kutateladze. Were issued all the documents, their copies are in our hands," - said Petrakov. He noted that "to validate the documents provided by the present owner in Rosokhrankultura picture, we sent requests to the Georgian law enforcement agencies and Interpol," - said Petrakov.

In this connection, I wonder why Rosokhrankultura not wait for an answer Interpol and law enforcement agencies of Georgia and allow the so-called "Current owner" picture set "Black Lion" at the Salon in Moscow. And yet, why representatives of Rosokhrankultura so "quickly believed" the documents and accounts of the so-called "The current owner of" picture and it did not occur simply call into the family of the famous artist Kutateladze Tbilisi to ascertain the story.

And all the fault of inadequate legislation of Georgia is completely prohibited ( even the legitimate owners ) to sell abroad for work Niko Pirosmani . (Removal of the other authors so categorically and totally not banned - the commission decides to Low Culture ) Why can not I sell something that belongs to me on the right is not clear .

Kisha,

You can come to you with a gun for the money?

Your humor is understandable, but nevertheless it is likely that one robbery was staged.
(Can not) That's all.
Yours sincerely
