ranzher, I vaguely heard that nobody is going to pay.
Podrazveli fratsuzikov!

Two years on Hadad sold Koesnikova.
I just before the auction was in Paris.
We went to him in the gallery and asked to see the picture.
When Estimé in catalog 2500 euros I offered the owner 50 000.
He began to wriggle and twist. They say a picture under customs control came from Switzerland (?) And his strict accountability.
I think, all right. Try to buy at auction.
I was so sure that this work is that no one believed for its unoriginality.
Arrived in Paris to bid.
How starsti played out here on this picture. Short. I stopped at 103tys.
The hammer was 107 thousand
Time passes and I know that the buyer had not paid for the work.
Evidently he washed his eyes pointing to the details and he did not pay.
Ader wrote me a letter and offer to buy 40 000.
I told him that the money should be taken when they are given!
Once again I was convinced that everything is done, all the better!

Does anyone know what this history has ended?
