No - Ramruna - What I intimate is that ALL investigations will be filmed - WITH their outcomes - and then the BBC decide in which ORDER/programme composition to show them.

@onlooker -- could be; it is noticeable there is no overlap between the pictures in this programme.

why are all of these shows been repeated on prime tv less than a year after they were 1st shown, not much of a show when you no the answers before the show starts like repeating quiz shows,pointless

I actually own a Gaugin and a Stradivarius. The problem is Stradivarius couldn't paint and Gaugin couldn't make violins!

Can't have been pleasant for Fiona to handle his sketches knowing he was a nonce.

Fiona got the bowl of fruit ..... in the other painting
|

By:
I've never seen the attraction of those "art school" still life paintings. Call me an old philistine but if I wanted to look at a bowl of fruit, I'd nip down the greengrocers. But of course, it is only the artist's name that makes the pencil sketch interesting, let alone valuable.
One of the BBC art shows sent amateur dauber and Liverpool/West Ham/etc goalkeeper David James to an exhibition once, and he questioned the inclusion of sketches: if I'm having a kick-about with my son, is that me being a footballer or me being a dad? |
|
By:
Artists use sketches like songwriters, authors, poets write down words or phrases which at a later date will be a useful reference for the completed work. As for philosophical statements about art, David James ffs!
I must ask Philip Mould if he thinks zonal marking could improve England's chances in the World Cup.![]() |

almost certainly,

The other odd thing, never explained, was why Guagin's peaches looked like oranges, or was it the other way round?
Maybe in hindsight that should have been a clue. In next week's programme, if they can't tell if the painting is of sunflowers or roses, it might not be a genuine Van Gogh. ![]() |

Next week's #fakeorfortune(Giacometti) is postponed pending further investigations. https://twitter.com/philipmould/status/906992186687983616 Curiouser and curiouser. I hope the Giacometti owner has not already spent the money or put his foot through the painting ![]() |

The "rivalry," (between the Art Houses - not unexpected, of course) - was an illuminating aspect of this edition.
And not a surprising one, either - given the arrogance and impatience of the Wildenstein family as racehorse OWNERS - when they changed Trainers, who could did not produce Classic winner 'on demand, faster than they changed their minds ... - or, in this instance, predictably, stubbornly refused to change their mind. |

Yes, one of my favourite TV programmes on at the moment. I do like the Antiques Roadshow, but this is better I think.

off course someone could always call the would be sellers bluff,mould said it was worth 300 grand plus and the price likely to increase as the years go by, so if someone took a chance and offered her say 50 grand maybe rising to a 100 grand do you think they,d be tempted,and if they were would that cast further doubt on the picture,
you see it all the time in the auctions copies that if genuine would be worth 1000,s but are almost worthless but people pay a mid range price for them as if there nearly right |

Bendor is back with a new series of the spin-off show, Britain's Lost Masterpieces, Wednesday, 9pm BBC4.
Radio Times: For the first programme they are on the scent of a possible Rubens, a portrait of George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, the sometime gay lover of James VI of Scotland (James I of England). Bendor believes a painting put in storage by a Glasgow museum might have the makings of an international art-world scoop. |
|
By:
And the result of Bendor's investigation is all over the news, three days before the programme is shown.

I'm looking forward to this but I will have to record it and watch it tomorrow, as I will be watching Unforgotten. Unforgotten has been brilliant, best thing on in ages.
I will have to avoid this thread until I've caught up with Fake or Fortune. |

William Nicholson tonight, father of Ben Nicholson who was the husband of Barbara Hepworth. William was nearly as much of a genius as his son, but is much less well known.

Well, that was ... ah, but we are avoiding spoilers for the Unforgotten crowd. Avoid the BBC News page as well.
The owner's flat! It would be a tight squeeze but I reckon you could just about fit a 5-a-side pitch in there. And the grandson's (?) home with all those pictures! |

It was so satisfying as the favourable evidence accumulated piece by piece adding up to an irrefutable case for restoring the attribution. Twitter suggests further corroborating facts were available but inclusion was simply unnecessary. Marvellous television (except for the stupid swipe screen effects), and a triumph for careful research.

As enjoyable as ever - although the adjudicator's reticence to present her decision in person, somewhat foretold the finish.

shame, thought after all the provenance on the back of the picture, coupled with the handwriting expert, it was
a foregone conclusion. not sure how she stands with the auction house that sold it in the first place ? intresting programme all the same. |
