Dear Hari,
Were they (taken for a ride)? is he(....)? these are questions to your 'statements' put here.
Provenance is simple Hari - do the spade work - in my earlier entries and hazar times i have said these same things - read read read talk talk talk.
Has Uma Jain tried to take bull by its horns? she has tons left to sell so even she is playing safe. Did Raza make such a huge issue of it (its the press milking it - be alert)! why? Anjolie Ela Menon took the person faking her work to court! M F Husain never bothers but he is very vocal about it!
when one says provenance it means track the history of the work - any ethical organisation maintains purchase bills of the work in question - you have the right to know of it or about it. the way to beat these issues is to insist on it - it might be difficult to start a process but even if handful of us begin to ask for it people will get the wind of it. it would stop indiscriminate purchases, black marketing and shady deals. it could also save you worry and tons of money.
and once you have the information even you should be ethical with it and not beat your dealer to the next one.
can we all be ethical? can we all try to regularize it? do we have the conviction to be straight and not point the fingers or cry later on?
its good these things happen - at least a method will eventually come out of it.
Warm Regards
