Knoedler/Rosales Fakes Still Lurking on the Market

 

The Art Newspaper reminds us that at least one of the Rosales works is still in the wild and two are in museum storage:

At least one institutional buyer still has forged works. The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Missouri, has two works in storage: a fake Franz Kline, bought for $475,000 in 1999, and a fake Richard Diebenkorn, bought for $110,000 in 1997, a spokeswoman says.

Other works were unwittingly sent back onto the market. “I unloaded my victimhood,” says Bernard Kruger, who was Freedman’s doctor when he bought a work allegedly by Diebenkorn from the gallery for $95,000 in 1994. He later sold the work and does not know who has it now, he says.
