For several days now, the public, especially the art-loving one, is being stirred by the discovery of hundreds of paintings, mainly from the modern and avant-garde era. An extraordinary occasion no doubt. It will take many years before related questions and ownership rights of rightful and wannabe owners will be solved. Important is, that these pieces are supposed to be unaffected by the wave of falsificiations of the last decades. This is one of the reasons why the discovered and eventually returned works of art will be well marketable. But considering the age, mental condition of current owner-holder and storage of paintings, the question that has to be answered is whether this collection includes forgeries planted by those who realize, that provenience sells. It might be a neck breaking combination. The future will show.
