Description from the seller
A special work by Geert Jan Jansen, inspired by Karel Appel. It was rare that Jansen put his own signature on the works. A real and nice Geert Jan Jansen, nicely framed.
Geert Jan Jansen (Waalre, 1943) is a Dutch painter and art forger who, for the latter, was arrested in France in 1994 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 became friends with the American art dealer Michel Podulke, who owned the Mokum gallery in Amsterdam, and Jansen started organizing exhibitions there. He later opened his own galleries, Jacob and Raam, but had little success.
When his business began to hurt financially, he started signing lithography posters of Karel Appel to sell them as originals. Later he made his first Appel forgery, and sold it for 2600 guilders. Encouraged by this, he sent another forgery to a London auction. The auction house sent a photo of it to Appel, who then declared the work genuine, and the gouache was sold for a record amount.
Provenance:
- Originating from a private collection
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition we have our own in-house picture-framing workshop, celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore we use restorers from the professional association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to make use of these services, of course we would be happy to hear from you.
