From The Art Newspaper article. From the little in the article they look like they would be well worth further quoting from. These may or may not pertain to the "many theories" the Los Angeles Times article refers to:

  • Boucher, Bruce. An article on "Notable Acquistions" in Chicago. 2002.


These suggestions taken from the Art Institute of Chicago's Bibliography on the Exhibition:

[edit] Photos

A photo of The Faun would be nice. Other images for comparison too, such as Gauguin's sketchbooked faunery, or sculptures would be useful, or the Japanese prints at the "Studio of the South" exhibition. Or a photo of the Art Institute &/or the van Gogh Museum during this time. Apparently, as part of the build-up manhole covers in Chicago were tricked out in post-impressionist garb. That'd be great. Or a picture of the vault where The Faun is being hidden stored. Or the Nunes & Fiquet gallery in Paris. Or Greenhalgh's forged bill of sale. But I do go on.
