Previous denied authentications , there
is maybe a solution:
We are willing to reopen files for
authentication of paintings, denied for any
reason in the past, under specific
conditions and only for major artists,
especially old masters.
Several former authorized experts are denied
today, or the authorized expert is changed,
or deceased and the new authorized experts
do not necessarily use the archives of the
former expert.
The Art world is in constant evolution and
sometimes revolution, also the Fine Art
Appraisal.
By example:
Vlaminck, paintings were recognized by his
daughter? Today this is only under the
authority of the Foundation Wildenstein, but
also this famous institute makes mistakes.
Based on my own experience, we can tell that
if you come up with unbeatable arguments
these gentlemen will recognize the
authenticity of your Vlaminck, it takes time
and lots of work.
Utrillo, Mr. Petrides denied several
paintings, using his monopole rights over
the artist works. Several authentic Utrillo
paintings were denied, and in particular
several fake paintings were authenticated by
Mr. Petrides. It was told he went to jail
for a while. Luckily Mr. Fabrice showed up
one day in auction room in London where he
made a scandal about several paintings that
were offered as Utrillo paintings. Fabrice
and Petrides are certifying Utrillo works in
accordance today.
Picasso, The Committee Picasso (made
mistakes?), and is dissolute since 1993!
Old Masters, All major museums in the world
are publishing every decade an update of
their possessions, it’s so that a painting
attributed to Caravaggio, can be attributed
to an famous unknown painter. Rembrandt is a
good example of this ®evolution, it looks
today that 50 % of the Rembrandt’s on
display in museums in the world are not by
his hand…
We are accepting missions of reintegration
for authenticity if in our opinion, the
artwork is defendable (Manifestly fakes or
forgeries are excluded for acceptance), with
a serious provenance history.
We retrace the complete history of the
painting, provide an analytic analyze, a
study of the manner this painting was made,
radiographic analyze, chemical study of the
paint, in one word a complete autopsy of the
painting and his context.
These missions are difficult, take a long
time to be accomplished, we limit these
expertise to paintings with a value
(authenticated ) > $ 200,000.00. An average
study takes 6 months.
After reviewing your painting we will give
you a free proposal
