In the last series though, one painting (I forget which) was scientifically proven to be genuine, however the deciding factor in the end, was the opinion of a pompous individual who was clearly out to protect his own reputation rather that doing what was right and admitting that he had been wrong about the painting in the past. I feel that things should change in that respect. After all, it was him and him alone that stood between one man and his fortune. I thought that was very sad.Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-41951113049527263122015-07-13T07:34:57.917+00:002015-07-13T07:34:57.917+00:00It highlights for me the very strange discrepancie...It highlights for me the very strange discrepancies which can arise between objective and independently validated evidence - and the opinions of those who aspire to be the highest authorities on an artist.<br /><br />I really do wonder why the auction houses pay such credence to opinion as opposed to fact.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-79635729305043994322015-07-13T06:29:24.478+00:002015-07-13T06:29:24.478+00:00It's a fascinating programme.
