In Great Britain, a former teacher practiced forgery the same way as many others. He forged known authors like Picasso, Bacon and other modern british painters who are in demand. He even didn´t make a big effort. He focused on a presentation of a good origin of the work. Of course, he forged these documents as well. When some buyer questioned the authenticity of the artwork, he returned the money. Doesn´t this procedure remind you the practice of some galleries in Czech republic? What happens with those returned works? Do they end up in another collection? Such works can´t go back on the market without a proper examinaton!
