In a statement provided to the Guardian, the Paris-based Picasso Administration said after it issued a “please explain” to Mona, the museum expressed its regrets and declared itself ready to withdraw the paintings.
“While we can only regret this situation and the current overexposure, we believe that this matter is now closed,” the statement said, adding that although the institute bore no grudge against Mona or Kaechele, the museum needed to keep in mind that intellectual and creative property laws applied to everyone.
“Mistakes are also part of learning and we have no doubt that in the future" https://www.theguardian.com/culture/article/2024/jul/13/childish-and-unprofessional-art-experts-say-monas-fake-picasso-stunt-may-undermine-gallerys-reputation #copyright #moralrights #attribution #falseattribution #integrity #auslaw #auspol #MONA #France
