      Exorbitant fake paintings: The demise of New York's oldest gallery

      In 2011, Knoedler Gallery, New York's oldest gallery, made a sudden decision -- on a Wednesday morning, it permanently closed its doors that had been open for nearly 150 years. Meanwhile, Knoedler Gallery and its former chairman, Freeman, are facing a dozen lawsuits.

      These cases allege that over the past two decades, Knoedler Gallery, together with Freeman, sold 60 sky-high fake paintings, making more than $50 million in profits. A series of evidences later...

      Too much like the real is still fake

      The biggest fake painting case in the New York art world. The protagonist is ANN, a lady who runs a gallery, including deceived collectors, as well as behind-the-scenes liars, as well as "masters" who make fakes. The point of contention is, does ANN know that the paintings are fake? Some tend to know that she understands, and some think she doesn't. But I agree with what an old grandmother said in it, it was pride and greed that blinded her. Of course ANN knows that the...

      The value chain of art (is it art?)

      In fact, investment can be roughly divided into three categories, and the risks are also different:

      Benjamin Graham/Walter Schloss's "picking junk" faction: This faction is extremely conservative, and even the cash flow is considered unreliable. If the current assets are sold at a discount, will they be 1/3 higher than the stock price.

      Charlie Munger / Warren Buffett is a fusion of the Philip Fisher school of...

      Works of Art and the Art Market

      In the current era of unimpeded capital flow, "art" is no longer so pure, and both artists and art appreciators are coerced by the "interests" of the market, resulting in countless devaluations of art works. But it is undeniable that marketing is indispensable for artworks, after all, artists also have to eat.

      In fact, the biggest contradiction between the art market and works of art lies in intellectual property rights. After the protection of...

      It's a very straightforward documentary. What's interesting is the later battle. Ann Freedman seems to have withheld information. Even if she didn't know it in the early stage, she really had to pretend she didn't know it in the later stage. Once again, the Hammers show how right it is to be rich for three generations. Michael Hammer is a shitty figure. The funny thing is that Armie in the family photo was cut off in the documentary. It was impossible for Qian Peichen to not know what he was...
