I got this
subjective, primitive, non-scientific expertise from Archipenko Foundation for
2000 USD.
I have provided a
material test for the presentation of the statue from Bussels Artlaboratory.
The material test
proves that the statue was made at the beginning of the century.
The Research Curator, Alexandra Keiser, PhD stated that
only Frecise Gray could declare the
statue she did not.
The widow why has
denied her husband's most lively work ?
There are a lot
of questions about the operation of the foundation and the attitude of the
widow.
The
investigations launched will only
clarify the confused situation.
One is sure. The
Horseman transcribes the oeuvre of Alexander Archipenko.
Why accepted Fransis
Gray authenticity work of Archipenko The Head wich sold by Dhoroteum
based on casting material . The signature and molding number are absurd.
What's going on ?
The Horseman there is an unknown and the uniquely
work of Archipenko that has not been falsified yet.
Archipenko's
worklife can be divided into three stages.
The first is the
European creative avantgard period.
The second is
the burnt-out, emptied, exhausted American
copy period.
The third the
“Gray” period after his death.
In the third period, his work was degraded to a mass products.
They were
abused with his name and the art market it was flooded with mass Archipenko’s
copies.
After the death
of Archipenko, the mass of copies flooded the museums and the art market.
We have come to
today to determine the value of a copy of Archipenko whether it has a
certificate or not. It is absurd!
This is a total
embarrassment that destroys Archipenko's worklife.
The power of
money, the mediocrity, the greed, kills the art.
The Museums and
the art historians are in silent. It is outrageous!
The appearance
of Horseman statue shows Archipenko’s real brilliant fasility face.
Fortunately the
concealment of the Horseman was
saved it from the mass
production.
