But lets say the "authenticity" is "confirmed" by the courts.
Is it? I mean, if you are a true arts collector, there will always be a taint on this painting now. Everyone will know the story, and there would always be a sense it could be a fake...
- ics 10y agoIf you have the cash, the story may be the most interesting part. Art collecting is at least a tiny bit more complex than just a race to own the most X by Y.
