Karin PARROW
1900–1986, Sweden
Signature proven counterfeit
Oil on canvas, landscape scene, signed "Karin Parrow" 66,5 x49 cm. Ostensibly picturing a genuine oil painting by artist Karin Parrow. The painting had been submitted to an online auction house in Stockholm Sweden but was discovered by the auction house staff who contacted the police. Upon expert examination and questioning of the submitter, it was found that the painting was previously signed "Hilding Hultberg." Original signature had been painted over, quite clumsy, and replaced by Karin Parrows signature. Court decision: Aggravated fraud by signature forgery. The painting is a forgery and should be forfeited.
