Russian Avant-Garde Market Is Awash In Fakes
"A six-month ARTnews investigation and interviews with scholars, dealers, and other sources in the United States, Russia, Germany, France, and Spain reveals that the number of Russian avant-garde fakes on the market is so high that they far outnumber the authentic works. ... It's impossible to put a number on them, said Natalia Kournikova of Kournikova Gallery in Moscow, but 'we can say that almost every artist whose prices have risen has become the victim of fake makers.'"
