The auction house has withdrawn the painting it posted alongside the name of Vietnamese painter Nguyen Van Ty pending further investigation.

 

On its website, Sotheby's Hong Kong said the 'L'image traditionnelle d'une maison de paysan' ('Nha Tranh Goc Mit' or rough translation, 'Cottage By Jackfruit Tree') painting has been withdrawn from the upcoming Modern Art Day Sale on Oct. 10.

 

It also sent a letter to Ace Le, a Vietnamese art curator living in Singapore, saying: "Sotheby’s has become aware of concerns over the authenticity of Nguyen Van Ty’s L'image traditionnelle d'une maison de paysan (Lot 778, Modern Art Day Sale, 10 October, 2021)."
