    Oh my god, I stopped in there about a year ago looking for some specific screws... he didn’t have the screws but I still ended up spending about an hour in there chatting with him. It’s a very unassuming hardware store on Fulton. One off the reasons I love Brooklyn and Bed-Stuy specifically is how you meet the most fascinating people in the most unexpected places. He told me all about acquiring the painting and it’s such an interesting story. I hope his book eventually comes out since I’m sure it will be a great read :)

    I like how it was all filmed in his hardware store. Constructivist artists like Malevich were interested in materials, tools, machinery and the worker, so I feel it is very fitting.

      It might be, it might not be. Dealers are running a business. They need to be able to tell their clients with a high degree of certainty that the artwork they bought is what they said it is. If they can't provide that assurance, their business won't be reputable.

    People act like an artist couldn’t change their technique. This could be how the artist started out before he began using the cardboard or a tool to create a line. I honestly think, sometimes they don’t want a “commoner” to have an eye for something of value. Like the female trucker that found a Jason (?) Pollock piece of art at the Goodwill. I betcha it’s the real thing.✌🏽

    I miss going to the flea market, you find some jewels in there like the card playing dogs painting, a velvet jesus, a velvet Elvis or a collection of pink flamingos for the front lawn.

    Did they not do a test on the materials and also the canvas/board material?

      I'm guessing that the woman doing the analysis of the painting easily recognized it as an obvious fake and didn't think it was worth wasting anymore time on.
