In reply to If it's Tuesday, must be Fake Russian Art in Belgium...

those particular kind of Russian fakes, the abstractions, flooded the art market way before Putin, actually since Yeltsin. Must have been some mob making them, moving them through friends in Brighton Beach Brooklyn or whatever after which they were dispersed to art dealers and auctions until everyone wised up (and prices went down because: you can never be sure anymore without rock solid provenance, especially with that style!). Anyhew, everyone in the art world media has been covering this for weeks, aghast like this: how could this Belgian curator be so stoopid to fall for those? Everyone else knows you have to be real careful about this stuff because like 70% of it out there is fake, and what the hell is their problem? They are an embarrassment to the whole EU museum world, oh the shame of it.

But the developing now has changed, it's more like: what the hell is Belgium's problem, are they gonna jail curators for being stupid and making mistakes or what? Geez....
