The family of artist Pablo Picasso has chosen not to take action against Tasmania's Museum of Old and New Art after sending it a letter challenging its exhibition of several fake paintings that were falsely portrayed as Picassos.
"We also specify that we in no way hold this against the Museum itself, nor the artist. The urgency of creation sometimes makes us forget that there are principles of law protecting the interests of authors, which apply to everyone. There were also fake New Guinea spears, presented as antiques collected by her own grandfather, "precious" jewellery, which was in fact brand new and much of it plastic, and a "mink rug" that was in fact only polyester.
But she says she is also "relieved I have told you because now we can revel together in this madness. Assuming you still want to speak to me. ," she wrote.Many Australian art critics and lawyers have defended Kaechele's and MONA's actions. "They were not sold nor ever intended to be sold. They did not create revenue for MONA, in fact were displayed in the women's toilets at no charge to women who entered. Therefore, they are unlikely to cause anyone grief.
