Droog Magazine periodical for investigative
journalism Introduction | Miroslawa Wojtczak? | Auction policies | Address auction house
At the June Art
and Asian Style auction, Saturday June 26,
2021, the Edison (NJ, USA) based Livingston
Auction Inc offers a drawing allegedly made by
Adolf Hitler. The work is however as false as
the true man's deeds. Shipping cost incluing pack and delivery to US address 50 USD and International 150 USD.
CONDITION This lot do not carry established documented provenance nor any past record of auction history record are described in the catalog as attributed. Authentication of the artwork has not been established nor is it implied. Authentication of any stamps or labels has not been established nor is it implied. Pieces are being sold ""As Is"". No additional information regarding provenance will be provided after the auction. Authentic is not reason for return."
We
think
this is the case, because the text is almost
exactly the same as the texts on Certificates
of Authenticity allegedly issued by Jadwiga Oczko-Kozłowska.
Also the fantasy paper type used, the kind of
stamp and the general lay out point to the
same forger.
One of our contacts in Poland, "KZ" from Polish Art Corner, looked for us closer at these texts and remarked:
1. In one of two blue ovals (Wojtczak’s certificate) you will find two words „resunek obraz”. Firstly, in Polish language there is no such word as ‘resunek’ but only ‘rysunek’ which means ‘drawing’. Secondly, I’ve noticed that having those two words together doesn’t make sense as only one is needed to describe the medium that was used (rysunek = drawing; obraz = could be watercolor or oil or even a drawing). This mistake was made by forger from the automatic translation English word „sketch” which apparently gave these alternatives in translation. In my opinion the foreigner is not Polish speaker, maybe Polish descent or probably not Polish et all.
