Notify me about this case

AstaGuru withdrew the painting from its online Modern Art Auction after a gallery owner challenged its authenticity. The auction house said it was acting as a precaution and that the withdrawal did not establish that the painting was a forgery. Contextual photo shows Manjit Bawa with a different work.
