Old acquaintance

[sergejnowo]

Thank you all for your opinions and participation.
The history of this particular work is as follows.
Familiar antique dealer, a German, asked my opinion about this work. The real work is exhibited at auction http://www.kunstauktionshaus-schlosser.de, Lot 422, at the tender 20.03.2010. Interestingly, with the start of Euro 5600, the work now presented as n /s, although the signature is clearly legible and YY Clover-known artist in Germany. Another interesting thing is that employees of the auction, still read on the back of the tag with the inscription IE Grabar. Not mean stupid.
This work is extremely similar to this sale: http://www.koller.auction.fr/FR/vent...ing_light.html
Perhaps it is. What does all this mean, we can only guess.

but clearly tell the picture size of a pack of cigarettes is absurd.

Similar work has been on sale at Christie's in 2006, though slightly smaller.

It is likely that the work that something was wrong and she went to browse the auktsionam.Nemtsy write NH as forgers "glorify" us over the past years and the auctioneers do not want skandalov.Ya last year bought the works of Russian artists at half the price from that for which it was sold by Hampel in 2007, and the picture turned out to be absolutely honest, withstood the examination Timing and Grabar.
It can be anything you want.

sergejnowo, - he!

According sensations "before /Nargensky period" 1870, mid 70's, Estland. Nice work. My favorite - "honest" period of creativity, the formation of corporate identity.

Hampel at comedians in general rather than experts, with themselves and raise the price, even if there are no buyers, thereby raising the credibility of the auction. These things sold very often set in a couple of months for half price. Ghastly.
