Chang Shuo was in his apartment in Paris when he saw a clip of the launch of the Colondia Gallery. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

“...... We have a large collection of authentic Freud works, and when we sell the works, they are also confirmed by the Freud Art Fund. All this is enough to prove that what we sell is the real Freudian work. We don't know where a painting of Two Trees, or even the previous Draxy, came out of nowhere, and they appeared so strangely that one has to wonder if anyone has mastered the art of forging Freud's work, and we will ask the London police to intervene in the investigation, and those who stand behind the scenes must be uncovered. ”

"So, do you think that someone has forged Freud's work and passed the appraisal of the authoritative art foundation, and even overturned the appraisal report of your so-called 'real work'? are you questioning the professionalism of the Freud Art Foundation, and even thinking that they have committed a crime?" asked a British journalist very sharply.

Ted is also an old driver and drives steadily.

"We didn't say that, and in fact, the Foundation didn't say that the work we sold was a fake. ”

But they confirmed that the London painting of Two Trees was genuine. Freud never made two identical paintings, and in fact, that is unlikely, after all, the two paintings are so similar, almost identical. The reporter asked.

"So we want the police to get involved. ”

The reporter laughed: "You know it's impossible, whether it's the police or the court, you need to accept the Freud Art Foundation's appraisal conclusions in the end." Even if the collector of the painting could not say where it came from? Of course, he may have been involved in another crime, but it had nothing to do with the suspicion that Colognia was subjected to. ”

Ted's brain was beating and yes, the Floyd Art Foundation's conclusion was key.

The courts, the police, the customs, and all other public authorities can only accept the conclusions of the authorities when it comes to the authenticity of works of art - unfortunately, the Freud Art Foundation is the most authoritative body for the identification of his works. In fact, even if it is fake, unless it is outrageously false and can be disproved by definitive evidence, as long as the Foundation says it is true, then it is true. This is the current state of art authentication, and the Foundation fulfills this mission through its reputation, its broad membership, and its persuasive appraisal reports.

"It's a conspiracy, it must be a conspiracy, Cologia is so great that there will never be such a scandal, these works were acquired by my father thirty years ago, they can't be forgeries. Horner roared.

Chang Shuo looked at Ted's embarrassment and the thunderous Horner, and shook his head, this may be the life and death of Cologdia.

Thinking that Horner was in front of the media, he trampled on Lin Haven's "Mother Earth God Gaia" so unstoppably, and I would never have imagined that he would have today.

He made a transatlantic phone call with Lin Haven.

Speaking of which.

"Now that God is on your side, you don't need to have a seizure, Horner is starting to suffer. It can be seen that the saying that God does not have long eyes, which is reasonable. ”

“...... They should be God, not God. God is omniscient and omnipotent, and he feels that his noble people, me, have been wronged. That's why heaven punished people like Horner. ”

"I should have known that every time I say something about you, it will become an opportunity for you to boast. Anyway, is your Textile Woman finished? I met with one of the deputy curators of the Prado Gallery, and he was interested in seeing your copy, after all, you are now recognized as a painter who has received the true color of Velázquez. Chang Shuo paused: "I think they might be surprised." ”

This "Textile Woman" is definitely not just about color, he is another "Textile Woman" created by Velázquez.

Of course, they will be surprised.

Hanging up Chang Shuo's phone, Lin Haven swiped Facebook, and sure enough, this news was everywhere.

Bonoise was still with him: "Look, retribution." ”

Artur, Bernard, Mondri and others remained silent.

The other party to the case, the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain, has not yet come out to say whether they will resort to legal means – and if they do, it would mean that they will admit that their work is a fake.

Cartier may not be willing to admit an investment in a work of art that has multiplied in value by five times.

Lin Haven narrowed his eyes, this is not up to you.

Unsurprisingly, several of the works purchased from Colognia were sent to the Freud Foundation for re-appraisal. At this time, an agent in the United States claimed that the collector behind him owned a painting of "The Red-Haired Couch Girl", which may not be a forgery, but an authentic work.

The media is all focusing on this matter with their headlights on.

The work was sent to London very cooperatively, and the Foundation's Brown, Boud, and others began to struggle again. Although the "sofa girl" this time is not so "Freud", it is still more in line with the characteristics of Freud's original work than the one at the Colondia Gallery.

They had to announce a second time that they had withdrawn another appraisal report.

It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Cartier, which collects "Two Trees", and the Getty Foundation in Los Angeles, which houses "Couch Girl", the foundation behind the Getty Center for the Arts, announced almost once and again that the Colondia Gallery would be required to reverse the transaction, return the money, and pay three times the amount of liquidated damages according to the contract.

However, this is not the end of the story, and several skeptical private collectors are planning to return the works. They cite the Freud Foundation for the Arts: "We can almost confirm that either this is a mischief by Freud, but there is no evidence to prove it." So most likely, there was a skilled imitator who was able to imitate Freud's work to the point where it could be realistic. And in terms of time, he was at least 10 years ago, that is, before Mr. Horner sold the paintings.

Because of our previous mistakes, we think that Mr. Horner may have been deceived, and that some of the works of unknown origin were sold to Mr. Horner, who collected Freud's works—so that the original works were treated as imitations, which may explain why some of the items sold in Colognea have never been clearly proven. This is perhaps the most bizarre, but also the most successful counterfeiting in the history of oil painting.

Based on this, we will initially withdraw the appraisal of all the 5 works of the Colondia Gallery whose provenance cannot be confirmed, and warn the market that there may be problems with the authenticity of the remaining works. ”

Cologia is finished!

All the people in the art world who understand it have put a stamp on it! The huge loss is one reason, but it is not the most important thing. What Colondia loses is the foundation of a gallery's livelihood – professionalism and integrity. No one believes in it anymore, and it is a convention to know that the production of an authoritative gallery equals the authenticity. Now Colognia has lost this, which means that both the painter and the buyer will abandon the Colón gallery.

Horner has been clamoring in the media about conspiracy, insulting those who buy them as fools and fools.

But the end of the Colondia Gallery is already doomed.

It's going to die!(To be continued.) )
