Once again, provenance is not a story. Provenance is the verifiable history of an object; key word here being verifiable. An auction catalog, say, from the 1950s, in which an item appears, proves where that item was at that time. It thus could not have been forged, say, by someone who hadn't even been born then.
Again, provenance is not the word-of-mouth story that a seller tries to hand you. True or not, that's just a story. Understand what provenance is, before you criticise. Last edited by David Atkatz; 01-14-2012 at 05:40 PM. |
