About the painting "Girl in furs," exposed a week ago on "Avito" with a price tag of 5 282 000 000 rubles, in 2014 voted one of the world's leading experts on Leonardo

Martin Kemp (Martin Kemp), Professor of art history at Oxford University and one of the world's leading experts on Leonardo, in August 2014, reported the website artnet.com: "In recent years repeatedly appealed to me in the Intrusive form about the two works — portrait of a girl in a fur Cape and portrait presumably Salai". The expert for such applications were used. According to him, sent him in the hope to authentication about 12 from 20, another "Leonardo". According to camp, all these things belong to the group of work that is constantly changing owners for some-то shadow schemes outside of the open art market. They pass from hand to hand, from syndicate to syndicate, often accompanied by dubious documents and opinions of alleged experts, for which they paid, — concludes camp.

Presumably, these same two works ("Lady in furs" and "Portrait of Salai") in August 2014 suggested to buy famous art-консультанту Todd Levin. Professional curator and consultant, then on his page on Facebook asked the question: as a Richard lower can have on hand not one but two works of Leonardo da Vinci, while Levine himself knows only about 23 jobs worldwide, which are accepted by the international community of experts as the work of Da Vinci in whole or in part?

Apparently, he realized that to offer two works — is still too much, "Woman in furs" were trying to sell separately. "Avito".
