SEELANGS: Fwd: ExterTournament

[Evgeny Steiner]

Dear Colleagues,

Many of you possibly know about floods of forgeries in the Russian
Avant-garde art market. Often the situation is aggravated by the rivalry (or
perhaps business competition) of different specialists who claim the
exclusive expertize on this or that artist. As a result of such a claim, the
whole exhibition of Alexandra Exter in France was declared as formed of
forgeries and arrested in 2009. In the forwarded letter sent by a colleague,
I found a not so usual way to solve the dispute: a joust. I guess it might
be interesting to follow.

Heraldically yours,

E. Steiner

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Yesterday, 1 November, I challenged Andréi Nakov to a Joust of the Pen. It
is announced on my new website

   *http://www.patriciarailingwrites.net
*
as the ALEXANDRA EXTER TOURNAMENT.

Please pass this on to everyone you know who is interested in the Russian
Avant-Garde.

With kind greetings,

Patricia Railing
