Was the most expensive painting ever sold at auction a fake? This award-winning documentary explores the authenticity of the Sunflowers painting by Vincent van Gogh, bought in the late 1980s for a then record sum by a Japanese insurance company.
In 2002, the painting went on public exhibition alongside an undisputedly genuine version of Sunflowers, raising once again the questions so vividly posed in this film.

Van Gogh created a unique way of painting, but it doesnt mean it was a great tecnique!!!
There was a new brilliant yellow pait that Von Gogh couldn't get enough of. Uranium based i think and it has decayed. It would have looked totally different yellow when Van Gogh painted it.
If you really wanted to know task a world class remote viewer.
Greed.
It's okay to create and sell a reproduction, no?

I've reproduced different artist for people on scale. Just finished a Sargent for a lawyer.
The late Dutch post impressionist painter Van Gogh was an enigma to many, so naturally I wanted to trace his footsteps and visit where he painted some of his paintings – some with his right ear still attached I bet. Come check out these cool spots with me! Link: https://youtu.be/XVvIzqkcjlE
Whats with the pronunciation of Van Gogh? I remember the scene in Lolita, when the Mother is DESPERATLEY Trying to impress the professor. She shows him her art collection. She pronunciates the famous artists names wrong, including Van Gogh….she pronunciates it just like this Bird.
Hey, Timeline, if you want people to consider you seriously, perhaps proper grammar would be an good start. This video, for instance, should be: The Fake Van Goghs, not “Gogh’s”. If you get something so trivial wrong, why would anyone think you have the capacity for getting anything else right?
I paint and draw, I'm 69-years-old, sometimes I talk about my paintings, the ones I am happy with, there are many I am not happy with. I feel Vincent would have been the same kind of painter as me and many like me.
diese professorin ist eine dummschwätzerin (18:00)
These three pictures have never been seen side by side before…..but they’re replicas….the guy who painted the replicas would’ve had them side by side moron
I emailed the Museum in Amsterdam about my 2 Van Goghs that were stolen from my home in Las Vegas and still haven't heard from them SMH
Wow. That dude called it with the way the stems were painted and everything… i think it's fake.
It’s a real “ who dunnit” alright! Lol!
13:17 What more proof do you want that it is a fake ? Unless Van Gogh was a surrealist sometimes and we didn`t know :))
Why does the title make Van Gogh possessive?
Turpentine comes from pine tree NOT sunflower damn it.
The Americans bombed the original painting in Japan.
The fake Van Gogh's what?
Is she saying his name wrong, or have I been saying it incorrectly my entire life? ?
even if it's a fake it would still be just as valuable because of the controversy
They bought a fake it seems.
Money, money, money. So-called experts are not worth a light if they cannot admit their errors.
I really don't know an awful lot about art but it looks like a fake to me. excellent documentary
The title is wrong.
30 seconds in and I already learned something new
Why not just let the experts in the comments of youtube decide? These people are experts on everything and don't even bother to tell them they are wrong !!!
Why are the fakes so well protected? Maybe they aren’t sure ?
Her last statement was ridiculous, dude was broke his whole life , I’m sure he’d want them to be worth that kind of money when he was alive , he probably doesn’t cut his ear off and he doesn’t kill him self and he find love maybe not true love but money can buy some love , again he never sold one of those paintings! I can’t believe any were saved ? No one believed in his genius! So in what year did someone say one of his paintings was worth millions?
37:20 Vincent painted Donald Trump.
