MOSCOW, May 30 - rape. Famous American gallery owner Gary Tatintsyan substantiate his claim of more than $ 60 million to a collector Leo Nusbergu, he allegedly sold fake works by Kazimir Malevich, expert opinions, to the documents of the New York court available to the agency rape.

Initially, the claim to Tatintsyanu in December 2009 filed Nusberg, considered one of the largest collectors of works Suprematists, including Malevich. The dispute arose after the exhibition "Malevich - Suetin - Chashnik: graphics Suprematism", which was held in Moscow gallery Tatintsian in 2006. Shown in her work belonged Nusbergu, and later some of them became a gallery owner.

It is about 95 works by Malevich and his followers - and Ilya Nicholas Suetina Chashnik. Three million dollars were to be listed in three tranches. However, according to Nusberg, Tatintsyan has not fulfilled its obligations under the contract and did not pay the full cost of the acquired activities on schedule. As a result, at the time of filing the claim, taking into account the total debt amounted to some degree 1.865 million.

Despite this, Tatintsyanu were transferred to another 11 works amounting to 752,000 dollars, and he pledged to either sell or return. However, according to Nusberga, he saw no money, no pictures. Later, as a result of blackmail, he has lost about 98 works from its collection, and the gallery owner to sell the next batch of graphic works Nusberg was allegedly forced a $ 2.6 million, while the market price of the paintings was not less than $ 5.6 million.

Meanwhile, works from the collection at the Nusberga Tatintsian not stay - they have acquired at different times of Russian collectors, among whom are mentioned in the documents Smuzikov Alexander, Constantine Grigorishkin, Eugene Zyablov, Michael Vilkovsky.
As part of this proceeding in March 2012 Tatintsyan filed a counterclaim, presenting a far more serious claims have Nusbergu, stating "many years of fraud," a multimillion-dollar costs and reputational damage.

In the summer of 2010 for the first time it became clear that a number of works from the collection Nusberga acquired in 2006 - a fake: in their structure were detected synthetic material, which could not be at the time the paintings, said Tatintsyan. Examination conducted on the Moscow-based company ArtConsulting handling a customer of American gallery owner.

After that, the mere smell a rat Tatintsyan turned to the two recognized American experts - James Martin (James Martin) and Paul Messier (Paul Messier), whose services are used, including auction houses Christies and Sothebys, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

According Tatintsian, confirmed the conclusions of Monsieur ArtConsulting, while Martin's expertise has not been completed.
Last week the New York court, which deals with this matter, received a certificate of another expert - Alexandra Shatskikh, an expert on Russian avant-garde.

According to her, Nusberg repeatedly said that Russia had brought from more than 180 works by Malevich and he got it from Anne Leporskaya, inherited a collection of works by the master after his death in 1935. Reasons to doubt the authenticity of the collection have not been Shatskih, especially since many of its surroundings did not doubt the veracity of this information. This she said, and Tatintsyanu when he turned to her for professional advice.

However, in 2010 to Shatskikh, according to her testimony, the fund turned Sepherot Foundation, which, according to Tatintsyanu are relevant and Vilkovsky Smuzikov. The Foundation was interested in exploring the vast collection of works whose authorship was attributed to Malevich and his students. It was about 39 paintings, which are understood Shatskih, were purchased from Tatintsian.

The expert concluded that about 30 works of art - forgeries, and helped her figure it out Troels Andersen, a Danish specialist (Troels Andersen). It was he who told the Russian expert on the alpha-numeric coding system developed by Malevich, to identify their own works. Discrepancies were identified and during the comparison of works from the collection Nusberga the catalog compiled by Andersen.

Tatintsyan in turn, claims about similar problems with other artists - and Chashnikov Suetin - and, as a result, millions of dollars in damage. Prior to the incident on the sale of art works by the same Zyablova Smuzikovu and the New York gallery owner, earned at least $ 10 million a year, and now requires a court compensation of at least $ 62.3 million.

"This is a very long, it was initiated as early as 2009. Trial requires a lot of time and money, so now all in the process," - said RAPS gallery director Gary Tatintsian Pukemova Victoria.
