The following is a comment by Bryant ...>>><br />The following is a comment by Bryant Ross of 'Coghlan Art Studio & Gallery' from Aldergrove, BC posted elswhere in the Blogosphere:<br /><br />"On October 25, 2011, 10 paintings supposedly by Norval Morrisseau were offered for sale at Lunds Auction in Victoria, B.C. <br /><br />Nine of these paintings were trash. One looks to be authentic. It is interesting to note that these 9 questionable paintings all had black scratchy paint on the back while the one authentic piece had writing in pencil on the back.<br />Eight of the nine trashy paintings sold, as well as the one authentic piece. <br /><br />They all sold for considerably less than market value ($800 - $1800) with the one authentic painting receiving the highest bid.<br /><br />On November 6th 2011 Seahawk Auctions in Vancouver will be holding an auction of native art. A couple of weeks ago they brought me a number of Morrisseau pieces to look at for them. One of the pieces was actually an un-authorized giclee print titled “The Shaman” that had been over painted to look like an original. In fact it was sold to the owner as an original. The authentic version of the painting is in the collection of the Thunder Bay Museum. This piece was withdrawn from the upcoming auction. The three paintings that remain in the Seahawk auction are authentic.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Bryant Ross - Coghlan Art"<br /><br />>>> BLOG MASTER'S COMMENT: I am confident that all paintings which Bryant Ross is calling 'questionable' are authentic Norval Morrisseau's paintings. <br /><br />I strongly recommend readers to examine the following links which describe in detail Bryant Ross’ actions. <br /><br />~ Bryant Ross and Norval Morrisseau Heritage Society (NMHS):<br /><br />http://norvalmorrisseau.blogspot.com/2010/01/deceptions-of-bryant-ross-part-i.html<br /><br />http://norvalmorrisseau.blogspot.com/2007/12/open-letter-to-norval-morrisseau.html<br /><br />http://norvalmorrisseau.blogspot.com/2009/12/truth-behind-open-letter-to-norval.html<br /><br />http://norvalmorrisseau.blogspot.com/2010/12/story-which-preceded-to-open-letter-to.html <br /><br />~ Bryan't Ross' public destruction of genuine Norval Morrisseau painting:<br /><br />http://norvalmorrisseau.blogspot.com/2010/02/blasphemy-part-ii.html &<br /><br />~ Bryant Ross' calling genuine Norval Morrisseau painting, offered for sale in reputable gallery, as an 'ugly yellow abomination'... <br /><br />http://norvalmorrisseau.blogspot.com/2011/05/respecting-norval-morrisseaus-art.html<br /><br />Miigwetch, SWSpirit Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03353827718431536386noreply@blogger.com
