my theory is this , it was shipped overseas in the early 1900's I'm sure hendersons was shipping all over the world at the time , it made it's way to a school in paris , thrown out after 20 years of service , Picasso liked to work on garbage and such , painted it for someone who fled Europe during the war to come to america and there it stayed in his/her house for a long time ,died and the chair was donated because it wasn't done by anyone they knew , so it held no personal value , and they might have thought it surely couldn't really painted by him . or didn't care, didn't know for what ever reason IMO if my relative could do this or anyone i knew i would cherish it for ever and keep the history alive .

 

it sure sound and is more logical than some one with a lot of talent painted it , put Picasso's name on it, and then stored it for a long time , what would the point of doing this if not for money . There is easier Picasso paintings to forge .
from what i have learned in order to artificially age it like it is would surely destroy the chair and the paint . this is 100% natural aging IMO

 

i took the liberty of microscoping a picture or two of his paintings in my book , to see if there was continuity in his art work and brush strokes you know see if they are all the same . this is my results , not sure what it means as i'm no expert lol but check this out . this is 10 different paintings through out his life time .

 

I hope you get good news.

 

7 more different paintings.Technics are the same through out his career ,are all the same

 

thank you mct just entertaining everyone lol

 

this is a fake Picasso

 

and I also threw in my vintage ,coke , Flintstones , and monopoly, silk ties , 3 of my favorites lol

 

why not go to the media?

 

i'm thinking that way

 

Lloyd, I hope you are documenting everything, your quest to figure out your chair reminds me of the documentary Who the $&% Is Jackson Pollock?

there was also a fingerprint involved
However a forensic specialist matched a fingerprint on the painting with those on two authenticated Pollocks and a can of paint in his studio

 

yes i watched that also found out who authenticated it and took it to him lol peter paul biro , we had a great talk about that and her heehee
she sold it for $50 000,000

 

sadly he says the prints on the chair are not enough to say they are his ,because of the way they are on the wood grain ,and paint , he said he sees things that aren't there, and vise versa .

 

wow, that is an amazing amount of money, I didn't realize she sold it.
One day it could be you we will be talking about, finding a treasure and selling it for millions
If you start a Facebook page let us know

 

Isn't there a show (British I think) that investigates art work, to determine if real or fake? I'll have to see if I can remember what the name of the show is.

 

started 2 tonight but deleted both nervous as h e... double hockey sticks (as my aunt used to say lol ) her name was helen with 1 L she used to say "2 els would be hell" , heehee

 

lol, haven't heard that in a long time

 

treasure detectives they haven't gotten back to me they sent a standerd email telling me how booked up they are and will only get back if they are interested in it for the show

 

i recorded them all on vhs so i could see who to contact about testing it

 

no, it was called something else. I'm sure it will come to me in the middle of the night.
