Paul Gauguin's Final Self Portrait Authenticated
The Kunstmuseum Basel has concluded that Paul Gauguin's final self-portrait is authentic, following an investigation sparked by a researcher's doubts about its attribution.
A researcher specializing in Gauguin, Fabrice Fourmanoir, had alleged that the painting was a fake, created by Nguyen Van Cam, a Vietnamese friend of Gauguin's, in 1916, 13 years after Gauguin's death.
The painting was made by Gauguin, but part of the face was retouched after the artist's death.
- The investigation was conducted by the Kunstmuseum Basel.
- The researcher, Fabrice Fourmanoir, had disputed the attribution of the painting earlier this year.
The museum's research confirms the authenticity of the self-portrait, although it notes that some retouching was done after Gauguin's death.
Author's summary: Gauguin's last self-portrait is authentic, despite some posthumous retouching.
