Last night’s #fakeorfortune in a nutshell:
“Paul, buying an unattributed Reynolds cheaply at auction in Monaco is very much like making love to a beautiful woman, you need to carefully take off all the layers, gently flip it over and inspect the back with a magnifying glass…”
The squalor of genius. Francis Bacon’s studio faithfully re-erected at the Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin. “It’s much easier for me to paint in a place like this which is a mess. I don’t know why but it helps me”. #Fakeorfortune
The importance of restoration, framing and overpaint….as we approach the end of filming #FakeOrFortune Season Thirteen. More soon.
Told I’m not supposed to post this, but we worked hard on it so I am! My first investigation and boy did I choose a tough one! I ❤️ this show and it’d be a shame to miss it! #fakeorfortune Philip Mould moved to BBC Two folks! Same time, same sofa, different channel. x
All I can show you is this. A scrapyard in Essex. Make of it what you will. But it is where we found evidence this morning for the next series of #fakeorfortune (due out next summer.)
Day 1 of filming series 11 of #Fakeorfortune ! Why in a car showroom? Transmission will reveal all…(next year)
Wow!! how is everyone? it's been far too long since I was on Twitter, but I guess Ive been hibernating but I just had to show off my latest find if only I can work out who it is? #art #painting #oilpaintings #art sleuth #fakeorfortune #detecting
Early morning start Wallace Collection in search of 18th century evidence. Series 11 of #Fakeorfortune due out next year.
Hoping beyond hope that this will be the first work featured on the new series of #fakeorfortune 🤞🙏🏻

“Well the good news is you’ve got 3 clear options of how to save the painting.
The bad news is that all 3 involve razing the dwelling to the ground”

3 perspectives of a 37cm, 12kg welded iron cutouts, a recent flea market find. Unsigned. Viewed from a different height, different angle, it changes character, offering a new point of view. Strong echoes of the works of Danish modernist Robert Jacobsen. Could it be? #FakeOrFortune
