Geert Jan Jansen
Oil on canvas
100 x 123 cm (without frame 75 x 100 cm)
Geert Jan Jansen (Waalre, 1943) is a Dutch painter and art forger who was arrested for the latter in 1994 in France and convicted in 2000.
Jansen's father, a technician at Philips, was an art enthusiast and Jansen began studying art history. During his studies he befriended American art dealer Michel Podulke, owner of Gallery Mokum in Amsterdam, and Jansen began organizing exhibitions there. He later opened his own galleries, Jacob and Raam, but achieved little success.
When his company began to suffer losses, he started signing posters of lithographs by Karel Appel to sell them as originals. Later he made his first forgery of an Appel and sold it for 2,600 guilders. Encouraged by this, he sent another forgery to an auction in London. The auction house sent a photograph of it to Appel, who then stated that the work was genuine, and the gouache was sold for a record price.
Provenance:
-From a private collection
Viewing is of course possible. In addition, we have our own in-house framing workshop, celebrating its 85th anniversary. We also use restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of this, please let us know.
