Getty kouros
The Getty kouros is an over-life-sized statue in the form of a late archaic Greek kouros.〔Getty Villa, Malibu, inv. no. 85.AA.40.〕 The dolomitic marble sculpture was bought by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, California in 1985 for nine million dollars 〔Thomas Hoving. ''False Impression, The Hunt for Big-Time Art Fakes'', 1997, p. 298.〕〔Sorensen, Lee. (Frel, Jiří K. ) In ''The Dictionary of Art Historians''. Accessed 28/8/2008.〕〔MICHAEL KIMMELMAN. () In "ART; Absolutely Real? Absolutely Fake?". Accessed 26/1/2014〕 and first exhibited there in October 1986.
Despite initial favourable scientific analysis of the patina and aging of the marble, the question of its authenticity has persisted from the beginning. Subsequent demonstration of an artificial means of creating the de-dolomitization observed on the stone has prompted a number of art historians to revise their opinions of the work. If genuine, it is one of only twelve extant complete kouroi. If fake, it exhibits a high degree of technical and artistic sophistication by an as-yet unidentified forger. Its status remains undetermined: today the museum's label reads "Greek, about 530 B.C., or modern forgery".〔J. Paul Getty Museum. (Statue of a kouros. ) Retrieved September 2, 2008.〕
==Provenance==
The kouros first appeared on the art market in 1983 when the Basel dealer Gianfranco Becchina offered the work to the Getty's curator of antiquities, Jiri Frel. Frel deposited the sculpture (then in seven pieces) at Pacific Palisades along with a number of documents purporting to attest to the statue’s authenticity. These documents traced the provenance of the piece to a collection in Geneva of Dr. Jean Lauffenberger who, it was claimed, had bought it in 1930 from a Greek dealer. No find site or archaeological data was recorded. Amongst the papers was a suspect 1952 letter allegedly from Ernst Langlotz, then the preeminent scholar of Greek sculpture, remarking on the similarity of the kouros to the Anavyssos youth in Athens (NAMA 3851). Later inquiries by the Getty revealed that the postcode on the Langlotz letter did not exist until 1972, and that a bank account mentioned in a 1955 letter to an A.E. Bigenwald regarding repairs on the statue was not opened until 1963.〔Marion True. ''The Getty Kouros: Background on the Problem'', in ''The Getty Kouros Colloquium'', 1993, p. 13.〕 The documentary history of the sculpture was evidently an elaborate fake and therefore there are no reliable facts about its recent history before 1983.
