Description

Explore the mystery behind a single oil painting and its impact on the global art market. In 'The Case of the Disappearing Gauguin: A Study of Authenticity and the Art Market,' readers follow the journey of a still life titled 'Flowers and Fruit.' This work connects a diverse group of figures, including a Gold Rush heiress, a Paris schoolmaster, and a celebrated French actor, all linked by the question of whether the piece was truly painted by the post-Impressionist master Paul Gauguin. As museums began to collect modern art, this painting traveled through the high-stakes art markets of Paris and New York. During a period when Gauguin was gaining recognition as a master, experts and connoisseurs hailed this specific work as a signature piece. This book examines the history of the painting and its presence in a California Central Valley museum, providing a deep look into how authenticity is determined and how the art market operates.
