We
find it necessary to publish an introduction to the response of
the Picabia Committee to Alain Tarica’s « Picabia Affair » ,
a letter from Pierre Calté to Hans Neuendorf,
owner of Artnet.com.
Tarica's Dossier
- - For
several weeks, M. Tarica, a collector and art dealer based in Geneva
and Paris, has been circulating a
typed account of about thirty pages intended to undermine the
reputation of the members of the Picabia Committee. It is the last
episode to date of a controversy concerning a series of collages owned
by Mr. Tarica. He is trying to convince the Committee to attribute
these works to the artist Francis Picabia.
The Picabia Committee, after having considered the arguments M. Tarica
has presented at length, let him know that to the best of its present
knowledge the series of collages in question certainly could not be
included in the catalogue raisonné of the artist, currently in preparation.
