Increases controversy surrounding the negatives attributed to Ansel Adams
One of the alleged photos of Ansel Adams bought at a garage sale in California includes a human figure in the landscape, something unusual in the work of Adams. The novel that involves the alleged discovery of unpublished negative history American photographer Ansel Adams met new developments after a judicial investigation, quoted by "New York Times," have concluded that David Streets, the head of an art gallery in Beverly Hills that evaluated the negative $ 200 million, has records for theft and fraud in the states of Louisiana and Kentucky. The 65 glass plate negatives were purchased in 2000 by antique collector Rick Norsigian, a garage sale in Fresno, California, for $ 45. Only later, at the suggestion of friends, is that Norsigian put the hypothesis of whether the pictures taken by Ansel Adams. To prove Rick hired a team of experts who concluded that the pictures were very similar to the early career of the photographer, known for his work with the parent landscapes of the west coast of the United States. After the supposed "identification" of the negative by the experts, the grandson of Adams, Matthew Adams, who is also president of the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite Park, Calif., went public vehemently deny that the images were designed by his grandfather. Despite the controversy, Norsigian continues to sell copies of the images through the gallery Streets. According to the "New York Times," the price for each copy varies between 1500 and 7500 U.S. dollars. Peter refused to say how many have been sold and what percentage charged for Streets.
