Vladimir Petrov, the 19th-century Russian art specialist at the publicly-owned Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, has broken his silence on the subject of faking in the Russian art market.
His silence fuelled rumours that ranged from his alleged suicide or murder, to his being on the run from the law and in hiding somewhere in France where he was said, incorrectly, to own a villa.
Indeed, Dr Petrov says that 15 of the 20 fakes he certified had already been authenticated by other specialists, although he says it is difficult to tell whether this is human error or deliberate deceit.
