Painter finds fakes at his art show
SH Raza, an Indian artist has discovered that an exhibition of his work he was due to open is actually full of fakes. That really is very poor.
A leading Indian artist has said he was “stupefied and outraged” to find that many of his paintings at a show he was inaugurating were fakes.
SH Raza was inaugurating the exhibition at an art gallery in Delhi.
The Dhoomimal Art Gallery closed its show as soon as Mr Raza pointed out the fakes but said it had sourced them from the painter’s family.
There is a flourishing market for fakes of most leading painters in India, art gallery owners and experts say.
That really is pretty poor planning by the gallery.
