his dad also popped up in the new netflix doc about art forgery, he was somewhat involved

[euraylie]

We just watched that! (I believe the main art-buying woman knew all pretty early on she was buying fakes...and so did her boss)

[just444]

She was so guilty!

[callonme_84]

Wait I saw that. Who was he?

[blahblahcakes64]

He owned the gallery that sold the fakes!

He sold fake Rothkos?! I haven't watched it yet but I'm ontds resident Rothko stan. Just another reason to hate this fuckin shit family!!!!! After everything Mark Rothko went through!!!

[blahblahcakes64]

FWIW he wasn’t dealing directly with the art and probably never personally saw or handled them

BUT

The financial evidence (customer resale value-vs. gallery’s purchase price-being VERY unusually high for these paintings) seems pretty clear that he had to have some idea that a scam was afoot. But the gallery was hurting for money, and tbh I don’t think he was terribly involved as an owner, so why ask questions?

I love when rich people get ripped off, but as an indigenous and black person, artifact reparation is vv important to me.
