I personally on the forum have threatened some

Well, if so, then there is no sense, you're right ...

Here's another prank McDougal. Note the nice line on the assessment of the picture.

Authenticity has been confirmed by the artist.

In fact, everything was exactly the opposite. Seeing in the catalog this, the artist wrote an indignant letter auctioneers that, well, he is unable to dream and nightmare.

The lady and gentleman pretended that the letter had been received.

According to the artist, after the auction called a girl, had an expert and said that I'm sure it's your job.

Forgery, a hoax, a fraud ..? (or something else?):
The exhibit "Artist's shit" was made from plaster

Objects of the Italian artist Piero Manzoni (Piero Manzoni), entitled "Merda d'Artista" ( "Artist's shit") - closed jars with labels - were filled with plaster. The mystery of the most famous art-provoking 1960 paper Correre della Sera, cited by The Times, opened Bonalumi Agostino (Agostino Bonalumi), a close friend of the late Manzoni.
Provocation Manzoni was aimed at demonstrating and omnivorous credulity of the public interested in art. "If a collector wants to get something really personal from the artist, it is - shit," - Manzoni wrote one of his friends shortly before his death. Agostino Bonalumi, who worked with Manzoni in Milan in the early 1960's, argues that all banks from the beginning there was only plaster.

In 1961 Manzoni personally closed 90 cans labeled "Merda d'Artista". The author assured the press and critics, that in each bank are 30 grams of his excrement. After the death of Manzoni provocative objects were in demand: so, the bank for the number 18 was sold at auction for Milan 124 thousand euros in May 2007. London Tate Gallery in 2000 paid 22,300 pounds (about 37 thousand dollars) for the bank number four. Several jars are part of the exhibits such an esteemed assembly, as the Center Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

After the Tate Gallery has become aware of the content stored in the facility, the representative of the influential collection of contemporary art told the newspaper The Times: "To hold the audience in suspense - it is part of the sophisticated humor exhibit," so the bank number four has not ceased to be an object of art.

... "Con artists sell paintings worth 20 thousand dollars per million

Excessive demand for paintings of Russian artists of the XIX century contributed to the revitalization of the manufacturers of fakes. On the sensational case involving the collection of businessman Valery Uzzhina wrote on Thursday, The Washington Post.
A case involving the collection Uzzhina


Told himself Uzzhin, co-founder of online car dealers, Elex-pole, about 2 years ago, he decided to collect pictures of Russian artists. Almost every two weeks in the collection Uzzhina there is a new picture. In March last year he paid a St. Petersburg art dealer 145 thousand dollars for a picture, which is listed as "Summer Day" by Alexander Kiselev, a Russian landscape painter of the XIX century. By this time he had a decent collection - 30 paintings of the XIX century, which had spent almost $ 5 million.

From the St. Petersburg gallery owners spouses Tatiana and Igor Preobrazhensky, who two years ago moved to Moscow and opened a saloon "Russian Collection in Gostiny Dvor, a businessman acquaintance, on the recommendation of his business partner in 2004. Learning that Valery Uzzhin keen creativity Peredvizhnik Alexander Kiselev, Tatiana Transfiguration invited him to buy several paintings of this rapidly-priced labels XIX century.

The catch is that Alexander Kiselyov publicly known only one painting - Abandoned Mill (it is in the Tretyakov Gallery). However, after some time in the collection of the businessman with the help of the St. Petersburg gallery owners appeared about two dozen paintings "Kiselyov. Paintings were sold to the buyer at the price of 100-150 thousand dollars.

Once Uzzhin became suspicious, he gave the picture for examination. The Art Critic by applying scientific methods of analysis, determined that the painting, which Uzzhin considered "Summer Day", is actually a much-altered film "Forest road leading to the peasant house," written in 1883 by the Danish artist Janus la Kurom. Experts have found that for 14 months before it was bought Uzzhin, it acquired at auction in Copenhagen for 2 thousand dollars.

The first acquisition Uzzhina made over 150 thousand dollars in early 2004, was a picture, issued by him for the work of Orlovsky "pond with lilies. And it turned out that the businessman had bought the paintings without consultation with specialists. All-Russia Center of artistic restoration behalf Grabar confirmed that "the pond with lilies and others had bought paintings are originals.

But last spring, one of my friends Uzzhina, art lover, who became suspicious about the number of works Kiseleva, which he managed to acquire, advised once more to consult about the authorship. Specialists of the Tretyakov Gallery, raised serious doubts about the authorship of the five paintings, which he brought to them.

Subsequent testing in a private organization "Art Consulting, include chemical analysis of layers of paint showed that the signatures were forged and some of the paintings have changed. Among the forgeries was and pond with lilies.

Preobrazhensky arrested in October, and they are in jail. It is only people arrested in connection with fraud of this kind, and they deny that they knowingly sold a modified picture, said Russia's journalists of their lawyer, suggested that his client had been deceived sellers. Who bought the painting in Europe, and changed it, remains unknown. Investigation is continuing.

How fraudsters preparing paintings for sale


Stripped Janus la Cour, who is now stored in a police basement, was in the center of one of the most lucrative and technically complex international schemes identified in recent years. Russia's upper class, driven by wealth and the desire for prestigious assets with a touch of patriotism, lifted the market of Russia art to unprecedented heights, the newspaper said. Fever Pitch also drew the most skilled and knowledgeable crooks.

Vladimir Petrov, the curator of the Tretyakov Gallery, says that in his estimation, the manufacturers of counterfeit acquired at least 120 works of minor Western painters of the XIX century in the auction houses in Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland and Holland, paying a thousand to 20 thousand dollars for now. After modification, these paintings sell in Russia for the price of 125 thousand to a million dollars, passing them off as works by famous Russian artists of the same period.

According to Petrova, criminals choose pictures that are very similar to the works of Russian artists. He believes that in this area there are several groups with highly skilled professionals. This is a specialist in Russian art. They added a few Russian details or removed the European parts, and sometimes just changed the signature of the author.

For example, in the painting La Cura depicts trees along a dirt road. In the dense bush, which stretches from the trees to the roadside, flashing blue flowers and dandelions. In the distance, against a background of sky covered by clouds, is a one-storey village house.

To Russify landscape, trees add foliage. The house was removed, covering it with new leaves and new sky. The road was shortened and narrowed. In the bush there was a small pond, and in the distance - Russian hut. Forged signature Kiseleva placed in the lower left corner.

Similarly, manufacturers of counterfeit create "works" in demand artists: Ivan Shishkin, Vasily Polenov, Feodor Vasiliev and Vladimir Orlovsky. Half of the collection Uzzhina provided to the work of little-known Europeans.

Using auction catalogs, Petrov, an expert on Russian art of the XIX century, was a collection of photographs of paintings, as they were sold in Europe and what became, once in Moscow. 56-year-old art historian explores another 100 suspicious products sold in Russia, but not yet identified their European originals.

The London sales of major auction houses, Christie's and Sotheby's, doubled every year. In 2005, they collectively have sold works of Russian painting, valued at some $ 60 million, and most of the paintings returned to Russia. Over the last decade, prices for works by artists such as Kiselev, grew 40 times.

Activities scam makes it that Russia is no surprise appearance on the market previously unknown original works, the paper says. In the chaos of the revolution and World War II, many paintings were hidden from the generations: the authorities sent them to the store or confiscated.

According to Petrov, the manufacturers of fakes are often in European auction houses in search of paintings belonging to the same period and style that works in demand for Russian artists. Often they wash the paint to make additions and corrections. Adults and cows clean. Children and geese are added. The picture is lacquered, and sometimes we put on cracelures - a network of small cracks, indicating age.

Standard examination, including a visual assessment of style and ultra-violet analysis of elements such as signature, often does not reveal the fraud. Moreover, the canvas and paint is really relate to the XIX century. The level of counterfeiting is so high and professionals, that even our experts can not distinguish them "...
