Vekselberg has accused Christie's in counterfeit trade

At exactly

[OlegTsi]

Wladzislaw, in all media and the topic is: "Vekselberg accused Christie's in counterfeit trade." The word "counterfeit" - plural, ie, based on this, we can assume that it will go on trial not only on a single case of oligarch. (If it is, of course, not an error of translation).

in all media, and this theme sounds so

So it sounds to mass citizen.

And to the terms of this character that sounds like this: "An instrument bought shit-now, pay nemeryano Bubble, painting - forgery, but he also told everyone about it." They say "blah ...", neighing and twist your finger.

But not all, of course, some just shake their heads ... They just lost the gift of speech from the subtlety of taste.

Why oligarchs buying a fake?

Victor Vekselberg bought at Christie's auction work Kustodieva "Nude in the interior. The fact that it is a fake, they knew even in Russia

Three million dollars paid at one time a well-known Russian businessman Viktor Vekselberg, bought at Christie's auction the work of an outstanding Russian artist Boris Kustodiev "Nude in the interior. But the picture was a fake. Learning of this, the Russian Supreme Court has sent a British claim to the world famous auction. Now British experts are forced to look at the "Naked ..." with new eyes.

No claim could not have happened if Russia did not come out in the next volume of the Catalogue of counterfeit works of art ", published since 2007. That's it - and first among the exposed fakes! - Specified "Nude in the interior. Or - "Odalisque", as is also called the portrait pyshnoteloy beauties, seductive yawning in bed. "Catalogue of fraud" - not only "cheat sheet" for collectors, which helps them secure their own pockets. He - an effective way to deal with rogue leaders antique market "- says one of the leaders of the publication Vladimir Roshin:

"Rosokhrankultura released five directories fraud, which refers to almost a thousand pictures. Many of them state expert institutions to issue the documents that supposedly work Aivazovsky, Shishkin and this, or hierarchy, or Lagorio and so on. In fact, this is not so. And now arrested one of those in charge of selling fakes. Half of these vendors are on the run. Many of them are impoverished, and, of course, affected customers, because that money to them will never come back. "

That's for "lzheodalisku" house Christie's to return money is reluctant. And it was not that a big sum, and that affected professional reputation. Because the British and started a painting expertise, despite the fact that in Russia the procedure already performed thrice.

"Absolutely sure, it is a fake - confirmed Vladimir Roshchin. - When one expert says - perhaps something and do not coincide. But when people talk like three people that are like no know their stuff, mistakes can not be. It is no longer the first time on large auctions come across fakes. In the fifth edition catalog is another picture is forged with Christie's, plus one picture from Sotheby's.

By the rules of the house Christie's, required the owner of a fake amount may be returned within five years from the date of sale. And this is precisely the term which expires in November this year after an unsuccessful purchase of Victor Vekselberg. Although, according to expert antique market Dmitry Boutkevitch, "auction five-year plan" does not seriously argued:

Christie believes that five years - this is the term for which varies science - art studies, chemistry, radiology, and so on. There are the methods of examination, which previously could not be used. In my opinion, it is cunning, because science is so fast, of course, does not change. But, nevertheless, five-year warranty really exist, and not only in the house Christie's, who got into a nasty situation. "

Trouble for house Christie's is also in the fact that the "Odalisque" as a genuine work Kustodieva sold here for a second time. So reputational losses and refund Russians British auctioneers apparently did not escape.

I remember the Antwerp Museum of Fine Arts, where many paintings by Rubens.
And in the main hall hangs a painting badly, under which is written "Rubens".
Metra three to four.

Any normal person it is clear that Rubens spent the night there.
But nothing.

And here Vekselberg bought the painting, which quality is better than the picture Kustodiev.

I do not understand what the problem.

In the money?

And what is for him 2,5 lemon?
As for me - in proportion - about 25 euros. And if not proportional, but psychologically, then 250.

And that, I would disgrace to the whole world that I lost 250 euro?

Yes, I have my last penalty for the alleged traffic violation was more. And nothing has survived.

Igor Guriev, not soglasaen with you!
This matter of principle.
Why can they sell the fake, but they are not allowed to return despite the five-year period?
Let choke her falshakom!
Correctly made Vekselberg.
I am sure he knows where you can spend the money.
And do not look into somebody's pocket.

Igor Guriev, difference in attitude to money (and your Vekselberg) indirectly explains why he is rich, but you - not.

It is impossible. Yaya you know what? With Igor Guriev? And you know his financial situation? Or determined by the proportion that Igor Gurjev himself and brought?
On such are not very respectful criticism wants to quote the wisdom:

is not the rich who have something a lot (money, factories, newspapers, and ships), and he who lacks.

I for example know very rich people (the owners of property in various parts of the world), which for years kept the broken lids of sugar and cases of olive oil. I agree that perhaps it is this feature allows them to be wealthy, and maybe the fact that they are working in the Moscow government.
