Bonn Museum Exhibits Fake Modigliani

At a retrospective exhibition of works by artist Amedeo Modigliani in Bonn, at least one of the paintings is said to be fake. The case is under investigation. Art expert Henrik Hanstein, managing partner at one of the leading art auction houses in Europe, explains in an interview:

This has to do with Modigliani himself, who certainly didn’t live the kind of orderly life that every art cataloger hopes for – he didn’t register or photograph every painting. Modigliani’s estate was scattered very quickly in all directions and it quickly became a kind of Bohemian myth and, thus, an easy target for imitators.
