A Glut of "New" Franz Hals Paintings?

October 2, 2008 by Marion Maneker

This Summer Sotheby’s “discovered” a new Franz Hals painting–and made a great price with it–now from the Netherlands comes news of not five, but six, newly attributed works. Four of the five newly attributed works are from private collections, the sixth work was found by Christie’s in Paris. With the Sotheby’s Hals attracting nearly $14 million from a collector, expect to see more action on the Old Master market for these works over the coming year.
