Hugo ZUHR
1895–1971, Finland/Sweden

Oljemålning på duk, motiv från Tjörn, signerad med monogram "HZ", storlek 60x50 cm. Skenbart föreställande en äkta målning av Hugo Zuhr. Målningen togs i beslag hos ett online auktionshus i Stockholm Sverige i december 2014. Målningen hade uppmärksammats av Hugo Zuhrs son Mikael Zuhr som uppgav att målningen hade allt för många brister och fel för att vara målad av Hugo Zuhr. Domstolens beslut: Undersökning och expertutlåtande visade på att målningen var en förfalskning. Målningen är förverkad.
