The Belgian artist and CoBrA movement founder, known as the painter of joy, was born with the name Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo, but he is better known today as 'Corneille'. He is an artist that will always have a special place in my heart.
Many years ago we discovered this hitherto unknown oil painting on hardboard on the right, painted by Corneille called 'The great rock wall.' It was unceremoniously displayed on the floor and lay hidden amongst a pile of old picture frames in a tiny auction house in North Cornwall. By absentee bid, I paid just £11.00 for the whole stack. As a relatively minor purchase, I promptly left it till next time I was down to collect. Three weeks later, the Cornish auctioneer called me to ask me to collect the picture frames as a new auction was being set up. Incredibly, still there amongst the grimy old frames on the floor in the corner of the auction room was the little Corneille's painting. London auctioneers Christies first approached Mr. Corneille about its legitimacy. By now an elderly man retired at home in Belgium. But he had no recollection of painting it and it was disappointment for us all, understandably. Fortunately the following week, Mr Corneille contacted Christies himself to say that having thought about it, he did recall making the picture - Number 42, seen on the right here and authenticity was fully established and confirmed. |

Paintings that are bursting with colour is the key to Corneille's work. Not surprisingly there are elements of Miro, Picasso and Klee that appear throughout his works as their great influences were constant to him. For any specialists or researchers, the problem in identifying authentic works by Corneille, is the disparity of both quality and his varied approaches made between Corneille's art coming from different periods in his life. Academic opinion alone is seldom enough today with authenticating a work of art. Signature verification is important, but not in all of Corneille works, as many have been left unsigned, like the one we discovered. Some are fully signed and many more are just initialled. Forensics therefore often justifiably has a role to play in the authentication process now that Mr. Corneille is no longer with us.

We are expert in conducting international investigations into the authenticity of works of art, with over 45 years of international experience behind us. We undertake all of the necessary academic, in depth archival and forensic measures which are required in building a fine art authentication case and for confirming artist attributions for our private and corporate clients around the world and conducting legitimacy, due diligence and art fraud investigations internationally.
STEP ONE IN THE AUTHENTICATION PROCESS - THE PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF VIABILITY STUDY
Before entering into a full investigation of legitimacy or a possible attribution of any work of art believed to be by Corneille or any one of the CoBrA art movement, such as Karel Appel, Asger Jorn, Constant Nieuwenhuys or Ernest Mancoba, it is essential to consider its viability realistically. With this in mind, we prefer to conduct a professional pre-authentication assessment of the work in question for clients first.
This is an important study, based upon the images you supply, the details of the work of arts acquisition, its history and provenance as is known to you and any previous research or analysis that you may have formerly conducted. It aims to balance any obvious negative issue against the positive ones that are immediately apparent and try to foresee any obstacles that there may be in any future pursuit.
This is a logical and cost effective professional assessment for which there is a modest set fee. After which you will be in a far better position to decide if the project is worth undertaking.
Please see our FAQ's which explains this process in detail.
We will respond to you promptly.
