Speak Lord!

For all the auctions you can see the controversial painting.
Not all auction houses have spetsialistymoguschie determine the authenticity, for example, Manevich.
If you talk about your to Gene Shapiro Auctions, LLC, he has previously exhibited in May, so, at Bonhams in estimeytom GBP 12,000 - 15,000 and was not sold.
Your case does not, in my opinion, reason to talk about the auction Shapiro as you say:

I already wrote about that Shapiro is selling questionable (read: fake!) Work.

Your Manevich agree, is "questionable (read: fake!) Of work.
I do not know this auction, to me he simply is not interesting and interesting to me the situation was with this Manevich.
I hope you get it back to Gene Shapiro Auctions, LLC.

And finally: here you on the forum was characterized as practicing a dealer. This makes it possible with this I have a question for you: You do Manevich why buy it?
for resale or it you liked so much that you would want to hang on the wall?

Hello uriart,

With great "curiosity and interest, monitor your statements on this forum. Frankly - absolutely did not want to interfere in the flow of your exposures, but felt it necessary to finally do it, for any patient sooner or later ends. So, on the purchased and you mentioned Manevich. Let me remind you of the following:

1. Once you (after 28 days from the end of the auction - and this is important) to express your doubts about the authenticity of the work you went to a meeting and offered to pick up this work again to put on auctions (for neither then nor now, I do not share your confidence in their unoriginality). Moreover, I predlozhl you return the commission - on which you, as you recall, did not agree.

2. Then, after these 28-and data to you for any examination day, we made payments to all clients and customers. By the way, I do not know the principle of Russian or Ukrainian auctions, but most of the international auction for this do not give a single day - each transaction is final and not subject to revision. Christie's and Sotheby's offer and up to five years, but the conditions that must be met are the same as ours - namely, to provide expertise on mutually recognized expert (the expert opinion which satisfies both sides). Your expert did not satisfy this requirement.

3. Regarding Pensler Gallery - firstly, this gallery specializes in American art http://www.pensler.com/About.htm As far as I know Penzler bought the remaining legacies Manevich not have heirs and after passing through the second and third arms dealers. What kind of evidence may in this case, we talk about? Especially since I never heard that he had acted as an expert on creativity Manevich except for the last couple of years. Moreover, - attention! - Specified by you painting "Beyond The Trees" to my auction was exhibited at Bonhams. If Mr. Penzler believed that the work is not true and the specified auction allowed it to bid, why did this happen? Why Mr. Penzler is not broke? Unknown.

4. I can only guess why you are trying to ruin my reputation by publishing your comments in this forum, but let me ask you one last question - as I know apart from you Manevich was purchased at my auction a large number of works whose authenticity is not likely to cause you no doubt - so why do you absolutely no mention of them? Strangely

Yours
Eugene Shapiro

About what you say 28 days?
The auction took place in the month of October, and I got their work in January or February next year.
Then where is my month for the examination?

1. In our phone conversations you never told me about whose expert opinion may be accepted by you.
And then you write that the expert opinion you are not satisfied.

2. I was going to submit you to court and I needed to know the position of Mr. Penzlera. To which he replied that he would not give any evidence in court

I did not want to interfere in the conversation, the fact that I destroyed the evidence base, and write without facts did not want to.
In 2005 I bought at spring auctions in Eugene Shapiro K. Veschilova painting, oil on canvas, 30 * 50cm, for 7800 dollarov.Kartinu brought me from the U.S. priyateli.Pri an examination in Grabar, it turned out that she was fake, was written after hudozhnika.Ya death several times called Shapiro, heard that I had violated terms of return and decided to destroy the fake.
Defame, Mr. Shapiro did not want to, but this fact occurred.

Dear participants of the forum. Problems of this kind exist in all auctions, without exception, and most galleries. You spoke and that was enough. Then solve their problems in private.
