The F.B.I.’s Art Crime Team is investigating the authenticity of 25 paintings that the Orlando Museum of Art says were created by Basquiat and are on exhibit there, according to a federal subpoena and several people with knowledge about the situation.

The paintings in the “Heroes & Monsters: Jean-Michel Basquiat” exhibition were said by the museum and their owners to have been recovered from a Los Angeles storage unit in 2012.

And De Groft has emphasized a 2017 report from a University of Maryland associate professor of art, Jordana Moore Saggese, the author of “Reading Basquiat: Exploring Ambivalence in American Art.” De Groft, Mangan and O’Donnell each said in interviews this winter that Saggese’s written analysis — which O’Donnell said he had paid at least $25,000 for — had attributed all 25 artworks to Basquiat.

But Saggese later said in an interview that her report had been misrepresented by the owners, who had removed pages where she clearly stated that nine of the 25 paintings could not be attributed to Basquiat.

Loll, who has trained members of the F.B.I.’s Art Crime Team to spot forgeries, said she had been asked by O’Donnell to authenticate the Basquiats as well but declined.

As she wrote on Twitter, addressing OMA’s Basquiat exhibition, “The lack of any real scientific analysis on methods and materials speaks volumes.” In another tweet, she added, “Handwriting analysis and poems don’t authenticate artworks.”

And he also stated quite clearly:


~ After multiple requests for comment, OMA’s director of communications provided this statement: “We recognize the challenges it may pose when new works appear after an artist’s estate authentication committee is dissolved. That is why we diligently undertook a very rigorous process of research and evaluation before opening this exhibit. The art has been fully authenticated by credible sources, including the person who led the Basquiat estate authentication committee; signed off by leading Basquiat historians, forensic professionals and handwriting experts. This is a regarded industry standard of evaluation and was followed intricately in our planning for this exhibit. We are confident the works are authentic and are proud to present them for the first time to the viewing public.”

De Groft also said to the Orlando Sentinel, “Our job is not to authenticate art. Our job is to bring the best art to the people of Orlando and Orange County.”


Everytime you try to jump up and be cool, you just get bitch-slapped back into your corner.... :laugh:
