Featured Picaso vest

well it's 3:29 am and i think you all went to bed so much for arguing all night heeheeheehee old folks eh lol night all .happy canada day weekend .

 

i'm reading an article right now from the Picasso administration and would like to share this:

"Then there’s the Picasso black market, which the Picasso Administration tries to keep up with, often in vain. There are possibly hundreds of illegal brands called “Picasso” around the world, selling everything from fishing hooks and pizza to coffee mugs, shoes, T-shirts, inflatable dolls, and mobile homes, and more seem to pop up every day. For example, the Lane Bryant women’s clothing chain, until recently, offered an unlicensed Picasso bra, with matching “boyshort” pantie, but they have since sold out. “We are pursuing the matter,” said Theodore Feder, president of the Artists Rights Society, which represents the Administration in the United States. Some years ago, a Spanish company illegally attached Picasso’s name to products such as coffee, tea, ice cream, pasta, rice, and toothpaste. It is no longer in business. But a company in Taiwan that sells unauthorized Picasso scarves, watches, socks, and umbrellas still is. “From a legal standpoint,” Andrieu said, “it is difficult in many countries to oppose an unauthorized Picasso trademark registration.”
And then there are the requests for authentication, which come from all over the world. “In the last five years,” Andrieu said, “we have seen a lot of works—about 500—that are unknown, undocumented, never exhibited, never listed, coming from the United States, Spain, Switzerland, France, and other countries. We’re hoping to get the truth someday.”

 

it is clearly marked not by Picasso as it should be when it's not , lol

 

An inflatable Picasso doll. That must be something to behold.

 

But not something I would care to HOLD......................

 

i have been talking to the museum Museo Picasso Málaga to ask them if Picasso ever painted on furniture and they said yes he did , a dresser and all kinds of things that were discarded as junk ,and they sent me a link to lots of Picasso paintings over his lifetime ,http://www.pablo-ruiz-picasso.net , i found these 2 (and more ) he did in the same year 1940 that looks almost the same with slight variations , ,then today I sent them some pic of the chair ,waiting for their response .

 

I think I might know why it is taking so long he has a lot before me i guess , he still has to do the Picasso door I seen in his vault hmmmm up to five years it seems . and tens of thousands of dollars to authenticate this piece

CSI Leonardo da Vinci...

An unsigned chalk, ink and pencil portrait of a Renaissance beauty known as “La Bella Principessa” (the beautiful princess) has been attributed to Leonardo using a method more commonly associated with police procedural dramas: fingerprint analysis.

http://content.time.com/…/ar…/article/0,8599,1930431,00.html

Forensic expert Peter Paul Biro found the fingerprint and partial palm print on the canvas and matched it to a fingerprint found on Leonardo’s “St. Jerome in the Wilderness” in the Vatican.

Biro examined multispectral images of the drawing taken by the Lumiere Technology laboratory in Paris, which used a special digital scanner to show successive layers of the work.

Closeup of Leonardo's fingerprint on the drawing“Leonardo used his hands liberally and frequently as part of his painting technique. His fingerprints are found on many of his works,” Biro said. “I was able to make use of multispectral images to make a little smudge a very readable fingerprint.”

Alessandro Vezzosi, director of a museum dedicated to Leonardo in the artist’s hometown of Vinci, Italy, said Wednesday he was “very happy” to hear about the fingerprint analysis, saying it confirmed his own conclusion that the portrait can be attributed to Leonardo with “reasonable certainty.”

This is great news for the Swiss collector who owns the piece. He bought it for a ridiculously low sum last year when Christie’s sold it as an anonymous 19th c. German school piece.

If the attribution holds, this will be the first new Leonardo to be discovered in over a hundred years. It could be valued at something in the neighborhood of $150 million. Bought for $19,000, sold for $150 million. I doubt there’s ever been a better return on investment in the art world.

Needless to say, Kate Ganz, the New York art dealer who bought the portrait in 1998 for around the amount she sold it to the Swiss collector for 9 years later, insists that this new information doesn’t change anything. As far as she’s concerned, it’s absolutely not a Leonardo la la la I can’t hear you.

I can’t say I blame her for sticking her head in the sand. How do you sleep at night after having had something so beautiful, so precious in your hands for a decade unrecognized, only to give it away at cost?
