Respectable auction houses are fully RESPONSIBILITY for the authenticity of works.
Here I have to hand the receipt of the acceptance of Upssalskogo auction. The seventh paragraph on the back is "RESPONSIBILITY for the mistake. It states that the seller held responsible for podlinnnost object, but an auction has the right to demand from the seller the entire amount received for the sale item in the auction, if it is proved that an object "error." The auction for its part, guarantees the authenticity of the subject and held responsible to the buyer.
Slashala that Sotheby's, for example, a couple of times gave money "back" for a proven falshak. I do not know the truth, whether they require the money back from the seller or assume all costs.

Was "Here is news" in the "Arbor".
In the "Catalog ..." written MAYBE poddelka.A indicator - not the verdict of the Supreme Court .....!
Interestingly, another "It was sold in the Russian auction Christie` s November 30, 2005 - in the work called "Odalisque" - for $ 2.9 million in the !!!!( Estimé $ 320-390 thousand !!!!) and became the expensive lot of the auction.
Studied, and stared dotorgovalis-almost up to 3 lemons. I write in the plural because "pepper" has attracted a lot of experts think before you "lemon". And that, they suddenly saw the light ....
More like a banal kidok with "washing money.
So now raised a fuss. They say, do not give a stake, the court shall take away from EVERYTHING.

All right.
In all this history is interesting procedure itself, ie any expert opinion recognizes the auction and as soon give pokuavtelyu money. I think all this would have been interesting.
Regarding "kidka" - a good idea for money laundry!
In this case, because for hedging falshak simply necessary - otherwise, do not get money back if you throw: D: D: D

FAIv, I read somewhere a statement of representatives of Christie `s that they are willing to give money if they provide a canvas for an additional ekpertizy (which will hold their specialists). And if that their examination confirmed that the picture is fake. Search.
By the way, on the Kiev "Four Corners", who once discussed Kustodiev not sold. Here it

"In the church. Expectation ", 1902
Oil on canvas; 118h72;

The painting was created, probably with. Semenovskoe Kostroma
where B. Kustodiev worked each year during 1901 - 1915.
There, the artist performed a large number of sketches for future compositions
and created a number of peasant portraits and genre scenes of popular life.

useful information from the fifth volume of "Catalogue of counterfeit works of art?

From site ARTinvestment.RU:

Last month, Rosokhrankultura published the fifth volume of the Catalogue of fakes. It included 900 works of art, 100 of which were not mentioned in previous editions. One of the major surprises was the inclusion in the catalog picture "Odalisque", attributed to Boris Kustodiev. In November 2005, this work was the top lot of the "Russian Trading» Christie's. When Estima 180-220 thousand pounds she brought 1.69 million (2.93 million dollars for the then exchange rate).

According to the publisher of the Catalogue of fakes Vladimir Roshchina, there is no doubt that the "Odalisque" is bogus. This was confirmed by experts of the Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum and the GRC them. Grabar, as well as the independent expert Vladimir Petrov.

The catalog auction Christie's said that "Odalisque" was written by a famous artist in 1919. It bears the signature of the Cyrillic alphabet "B. Kustodiyev, 1919.. " The basis for the film, according to legend, served as a charcoal drawing 1915 "Reclining Nude". The first owner was a cloth Maskovsky Leo, who lived in the 1920's in the Baltic.

Representatives of Christie's said they had known about the examination center and Grabar, Vladimir Petrov, but in order to cancel the deal, they need to conduct their own examination. But so far, they say, the painting do not let them.

The auction house gives buyers a guarantee of 5 years. If during this time, two experts recognize the product of false and their conclusions will be approved by the buyer and Christie's, the money paid for the work will be returned.

In the "Catalogue of fraud" was another job, sold at Christie's, - the landscape winter sun in the pine forest ", allegedly written by the artist Andrew Schilder. Landscape was sold for 8,5 thousand pounds at auction, held in July 2000. Shortly after the auction from the new owner began to doubt the authenticity of the paintings, and he turned to the experts. May 30, 2001 Christie's to cancel the sale.

Among the other forgeries - Summer Fishing on the lake in the woods "Elijah Ostroukhova, sold at Sotheby's in May 2002. Representatives of the auction house said that over the attribution of the painting to them nobody addressed.

The problem of counterfeit facing most dealers dealing in Russian art. "Every month I am asked to see 10 paintings and 9 of them are false - laments the London dealer James Batteruik (James Butterwick). - Many Russian collectors make purchases without consulting with competent experts. If the work is credible, then it has a provenance, which can be easily checked.

Many works from the "Catalogue of fakes" - "turned" Western painting artists of the XIX century. Some pictures of Russian realists may be difficult to distinguish from canvases to overseas counterparts - artists have followed the same trend, sometimes even studied under the same master, so experts do errors in attribution. Sam cataloguer Vladimir Petrov in 2005, said that is a true 20 false pictures. He urged his colleagues not to ashamed to admit his mistakes.
