$3M Painting Joins Russia’s Catalogue of Fraudulent Works

“Russian art experts have listed as a fake a painting that Christie’s International sold as a $3 million work by Boris Kustodiev. The picture is on the latest installment of a list of 900 works identified as fraudulent by a Russian government culture agency. The 100 new additions include three allegedly by Russian masters sold by Christie’s and rival Sotheby’s over the past decade.”
