Description
This is a VERY LARGE EXCEPTIONAL CUBIST PAINTING ( 30"X40" ) by an OBVIOUSLY EXTREMELY TALENTED MASTER that was apparently hidden in 1943 (From the NAZI'S?..Definitely hidden from someone..) by reversing the canvas side CUBIST to the back and a moderately talented artist (pay close attention to the hands not done well) painted a picture of a woman with ice skates to display(marked Carolyn Bock 43). With the back covered and the skating lady facing outwards it was effectively hidden for 60 years....Even from the family that hid it in the first place. Once the back was removed by me a beautiful and striking cubism painting once again had strong admirers. A great deal of care was taken by the previous owners to hide this piece(which apparently worked too well). I would be happy to make it available to any expert you wish to hire to inspect it. Damage: The slats used to hold the piece in the frame have been next to the cubist for so long they have fused and would need a conservator to remove them ...thus probably uncovering a signature and there is some damage around the slats and scratching as noted in the photos. I have put it into a stable frame with new hardware to keep the slats in place so they will do no further damage One can look at this piece and know it is a very short list when it comes to the artist who painted it and the larger part of that list have similar pieces in this size bringing into the $100,000,000+ at auction. So....I have started this at a MOST reasonable price of $99,999!!!! I would prefer you consult with an expert in addition to asking me questions as in instances such as this it is best to have your own advocate. This way you can freely bid with confidence. Wishing all interested parties the very best .....and ..HAPPY BIDDING!!! Julie :D Will crate at your request and make myself available to any Bonded Courier service you may wish to use. IF YOU WISH I CAN SEND YOU VERY DETAILED AND LARGE PHOTOS! To those who have contacted me to see if I will sell at between $25,000+ an AC Cobra replica to $75,000... Thank you for your kind offers and I appreciate your zeal and interest but This is as low as I will go for an opening bid. ... "NEW" : I will now accept part trades but require you to contact me ahead of time to assess the value I will accept as part of the bid!!! The Cubist is on the canvas side of the canvasboard. Additionally ...Canvasboards were not the cheapest when it came to art supplies at the turn of the last century...(Just to answer a few questions). I WILL GUARANTEE THE CUBIST TO FORENSICALLY TEST OUT CONSISTANT WITH THE AGE DESCRIBED!!!
