The Importance of Facts, Found in Contemporary Newspapers, Journals and Other Sources

Over the years, individuals have queried dates and other information relating to

artists, buildings, exhibitions, projects, paintings, collectors and provenance, to

name just a few topics.

 

It seems like stating the obvious, but what is provided in a contemporary publication

is going to be more reliable than what is read in some sources which are published

many years later.

 

I will provide some examples on this site, but probably not include the names of

the people who assured me, or colleagues, that they were right and I was wrong. Of

course, there will be some exceptions.
