Ripley Under Ground Quotes

“There's an American named Thomas Murchison, not a dealer, but a collector, a retired man with a lot of money. He bought a Derwatt from us three years ago. He compared it to an earlier Derwatt he just saw in the States and now claims his is a fake. It is, of course, being by Bernard. He wrote to the Buckmaster Gallery (to me) saying he thinks his painting isn't authentic because the technique and colors date back five or six years, in Derwatt's work. I have a strong feeling Murchison wants to make a fuss.”
