The Art Newspaper: Authentication By Numbers

Gerhard Richter systematically numbers his works, making forgeries easy to detect and giving him outstandingly high buyer confidence among contemporary artists. So why don’t all artists follow his example? The Art Newspaper suggests artists should learn a lesson from Richter.

“Kokoschka” @ Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg

“Kokoschka” – great show, unfortunately a bit too crowded today. I particularly enjoyed the collection of self portraits and the little movie featuring OK himself. Rough, clearly temporary exhibition architecture; such as walls in a workshop not meant to be a museum.
