After the news came to light, the Fake Painting Group disappeared Starting from the 13th of this month, the National History Museum also exhibited 52 Sanyu paintings, 20 of which are “collision” with r works previously exhibited by the Mock Painting Group are authentic? Which one is false? As the museum has not made a complaint so far to remedy the situation, people in the arts and cultural circles criticized it, believing that the official attitude was negative.
After receiving the complaint, Legislator Wu Siyao warned the Taiwan Archives of the National History Museum After ATCT learned about it, it immediately issued a statement, stressing that the relevant exhibitions were all for the public good and did not include sales that many of the exhibits had appeared in the museum before In the Yu Chengxi Company auction, the auction and the exhibition distributed prices and whitewashed each other, which was a business in itself.
Some people in art and literary circles believe that only outsiders can be fooled by these fakes, and real collectors will not be fooled. In fact, one collector sold Chu Teh-Chun’s work to another central collector It was later found to be a fake, and the buyer almost filed a lawsuit.
