“The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles was privately warned in 2002 that a Gauguin sculpture it had just bought for around $4m was a fake. A few months later the museum sent a researcher from Los Angeles to Paris to investigate, but she failed to resolve the question — so the matter remained unpursued with the Wildenstein gallery, which had sold them the work. A year ago, the museum finally admitted that Head with Horns is not an authentic work by Gauguin — and it was banished to the storeroom.” – The Art Newspaper
