Product description
Paris - Geert Jan Jansen
: Jansen's father, a technician at Philips, was an art lover, and Jansen went on to study art history. While studying, he became friends with the American art dealer Michel Podulke, who owned gallery Mokum in Amsterdam, and Jansen went on to organize exhibitions there. He later opened his own galleries Jacob and Raam, but had little success with them. When his business began to suffer losses, he began signing posters of lithographs by Karel Appel to sell as originals. He later made his first forgery of an Appel, selling it for 2,600 guilders. Encouraged by this, he sent another forgery to an auction in London. The auction house sent a photograph of it to Appel, who then declared that the work was genuine, and the gouache sold for a record sum. Geert Jan Jansen created a work in the style of Karel Appel especially for the Animal Aid Foundation. Since 2010, Geert Jan Jansen has been an ambassador for the Animal Aid Foundation.
