Ulf GRIPENHOLM
1943, Sweden

Oil on canvas, titled "Blue Interior" 47x36 cm. The painting is provided with a false signature. Forger leveraged the painting in a pawnshop, January 2007, for 5,000 Swedish kronor.. The painting was found to be a forgery and was seized by police. On the back of the painting is the inscription: "Ulf Gripenholm, Blue Interior 1987". Submitter (forger) occurs in police records previously in similar fraud context. The painting has been demonstrated for Ulf Gripenholm and he finds that someone tried to emulate his painting.
