Pelle ÅBERG
1909–1964, Sweden
Signature proven counterfeit
Oil on board, 61x34 cm, signed Pelle Åberg. The signature in the lower right corner has probably been painted after the painting was painted. In the lower left corner is damage that can be interpreted as washing away of any kind. The painting is of too poor quality to be a Pelle Åberg. Pelle Åberg has a tender and intimate modeling. He also painted clowns, but this is not Åberg clowns. He had quite a different view of humanity than this picture shows. It is very stylish, finger-painted finish, probably by a skilled copyists. The signature is not the same style as Pelle Åberg, it is clumsily done. It is probably painted by anyone other than the person who made the painting. The motive and manner of painting is not characteristic of Pelle Åberg. The district court's assessment: The painting is not painted by Pelle Åberg, it is a forgery.
