The BEST
part - well, aside from
Sadigh being arrested - is this line: " Investigators also found a number of
tools such as varnish, sanders, spray paint, and earthy materials".
Or possibly this: "Professor Bjorn Anderson and
his assistant Erin Daly perused
Sadigh Gallery’s website, wondering how the dealer could possibly offer “11 copies of the same statue for sale”. He also noted that
statues of the same exact shape could be purchased in different patinas including blue, green, and gold. “I don’t know anything about this,”
Sadigh told the paper in response."
So both crooked and stupid! I mean have the workshop for making your
fakes in a room right behind the
shop where you sell the stuff, really!!! The place must have reeked of varnish and paint sometimes.
I was in
New York about 5 years ago and really wanted to drop in, as I
had heard of all the
fakes. I wanted to see for myself and see what "lines" I could get him or
his staff to try on me - as a "naive but well-dressed customer"....
Sadly, by the time I got out of my meetings it was half an hour too late.
