After a portfolio turned up in an attic containing several works and poetry by artist, Egon Schiele, the 38-year-old discoverer seemed to be another one of those lucky individuals stumbling onto a art-goldmine. Unfortunately after sending the works to Kalli, an expert on the artist, all but three were deemed fakes. However, two of the three works that were authentic will be auctioned at Bonham’s London February , estimated at 30,000 – 50,000 euros.
