uriart, Did you know that said Piotrowski, when asked if they will not remove the permanent exhibition of paintings, with which the committee took Rembrandovsky authorship? - "We are putting a work of art , the picture, not authors. "
If the work outstanding, what a difference who is the author ?
In fact of the matter is that the discussed picture looks quite Modigliani, but elegance and romanticism of Modigliani in it. Sorry if its purchase for the museum , Modigliani will be presented to a bad image, regardless of authenticity .

Nothing clever Piotrowski said no !
And a very big difference in who the author!
You know perfectly well what they mean.
If the author of the famous work and has a perfect provenance, and then price it will ogoooooooooooo !
A doubtful authorship ?
Yes, and over three million!
What's this ?
In my opinion, so somehow smells bad to say for more!
