Artnews.com have shared news (alongside the Austrian broadcaster ORF) that a Viennese gallery are offering a Venetian view by JWM Turner for €38m. The picture has been backed by a study which features contributions from curators at the Belvedere and members of Institute for Science and Technology in Art at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
To quote the article above:
In the study published by Artziwna, researchers said that they believe their findings confirm Turner is the work’s creator. But they also wrote that they weren’t successful in attracting other international experts to peer-review their findings.
“We were unable to win other established Turner experts for our research,” the gallery’s director, George Ziwna, said in a foreword included in the publication. All inquiries to the Tate museum network in London to discuss the work went unanswered, he said.
