Lineman Finds a Painting No One Knew Was Missing: The Birches at Dusk Forgery

A lineman found a canvas propped against a cinder-block wall in the Gelden Museum basement at 6:40 a.m. on June 14, 2011, while the same painting was hanging, properly lit and labeled, upstairs - and every alarm and log said nothing had moved. Birches at Dusk was cataloged as GELDEN 1987.114 and appraised at $420,000, but which canvas was genuine remained unknown: how did two versions of the same work exist under the museum’s nose?
In this episode, we walk through the discovery, the museum’s records, and the first forensic clues led by an art-loss investigator to ask whether internal access and routine paperwork hid a deliberate switch. What did the radiographs from 2003 and June 9, 2011 reveal about the underdrawing and the painting’s authenticity?

- A conservation work order for the painting was submitted on June 9, 2011 by chief preparator Douglas Fenn, not by the registrar.
