The Smithsonian Magazine have published an article on the 'controversial' art collector Stuart Pivar's attempt to have a painting he purchased at a local French auction house authenticated as a full-fledged Van Gogh. Although the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is currently closed due to the ongoing virus crisis, the article claims that the museum had 'made an exception' to take a look at the work. The painting bears and old inscription and signature on the back.
It will be interesting to hear what comes of this, let's hope the magazine publish the results of the museum's findings in due course.
