A collector is suing the Van Gogh Museum because the museum has declared a painting the man owns as a fake. “The owner intended to sell the painting two years ago as the star of an auction in the Gironde. But a news agency report quoting the museum’s belief that it was a fake forced its withdrawal. His belief in the painting’s authenticity has been supported by other analysts, including an Italian art laboratory and a Dutch-based French expert, Bernard Landais, who declared himself in no doubt that the painting was in Van Gogh’s hand.”
