A Forger’s Tale

Portrait of a young Lady by Leonardo da Vinci

In his book “A Forger’s Tale” Shaun Greenhalgh claimed to have drawn La Bella Principessa, work attributed to Leonard Da Vinci after extensive and expensive researches were done, including large number of scientific tests (carried out by Pascal Cotte), experts analyses (Martin Kemp) and even a fingerprint, supposedly Leonard’s, was found in the drawing.

In response to the Greenhalgh claim, Pascal Cotte has released some new (previously unpublished) results from his tests. These showed conclusively, he said, that radio-active decay levels in the pigments confirmed a date earlier than the 17th Century. In response, Greenhalgh claimed that he made his own pigments from organic materials of appropriate age, including ‘iron-rich clay and charcoal from ancient trees.

This come to show how fragile the art world can be, and how forgery is becoming an art in and of itself: LaBellaPrincipessa

Let’s stay tuned!

Mr. Liu Yiqian was the lucky winner of a famous  Amedeo Modigliani’s painting “Nu Couché,” at Christie’s auction last week, becoming a prominent collector in the art world. Some experts are worried that Western art and heritage assets are being bought by the Chinese, but I believe the integration of culture will enhance our  intellectual and appreciative achievement.  As long as he is keeping it on display in his museum and not planning on being buried with it, it is fine with me: MidiglianitoChina

I’m a fan of this new Constable’s advertising commercial released by Sotheby’s .  They used sections of John Constable’s writing in such a clever and gentle way, using his own words to describe his work:

New York City is all ears with this new exhibition of the replica of Van Gogh’s ear at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts.  Some people find it creepy, others amazing, I find it interesting and believe Vincent would be proud of it. Perhaps one day they will be able to clone the rest of him! ExhibitionInfo
