Works
by this one of the world's most expensive painters are often falsified. One reason for
this is that his "minimalist" geometric touches appear to be simple and easy to
reproduce. I assumed that this work painted by a sure hand and with a great mastery is an
authentic Malevich and this assumption was proved by a technological analysis of this
picture carried out by the Restoration Center based in Dusseldorf as well as by a whitewash test performed in the
Kyiv Restoration Shop. This work was displayed at the exhibition entitled Art of the 20th Century. Ukrainian Avant-guarde . Kyiv, 1998. |
