Experts from an art data sciences company established in New York believe a long -lost piece Vincent van Gogh was sold during a garage sale in Minnesota and recently published a report on the investigation.
In a press release of January 28, LMI Group International announced the publication of a report of 450 pages about a painting called “Elimar”, of which it is one Van Gogh Original.
The painting was purchased on a garage sale in Minnesota for $ 50 in 2016, and according to The Wall Street JournalIt can be worth no less than $ 15 million.

The report describes the piece, which measures 45.7 with 41.9 centimeters as an “emotional empire, deeply personal work created during the last and tumultuous chapter of Van Gogh’s life.”
“In this portrait, Van Gogh again devotes himself to himself as an older, wider man against the serene Palet-Mes-Mes-Sculpted Sky and smooth vastness of the water, which evokes the lifelong personal interest of Van Gogh with life at sea,” ” explained the release.
The portrait shows a gloomy looking man with a pipe in his mouth and a fur hat standing by the ocean. The painting has painted “the same three -quarters of all four of Gogh self -portraits in 1889,” said the report.
” Elimar ‘contains stylistically different elements that appear in Van Gogh’s oeuvre, including distinctive signs under the eyes, on the corner of the mouth, eyelashes,’ whites of the eyes’ often in blue or green, a distinct nasal labial Line, volatile steno that describes the tragus and helix, and the color of cuff left, “said the explanation.

Analysts also discovered that part of red hair was partially embedded in the corner of the painting, and scientists confirmed that it was a man. The painting also had a finish of protein, which was known to have used Van Gogh.
Despite the stylistic similarities, the Van Gogh Museum has denied the connection of the painting with the famous Dutch artist. In February 2019, LMI Group received this statement from the museum: “We carefully investigated the material that you have provided and believe, based on stylistic functions, that your work … cannot be attributed to Vincent van Gogh. “
In a statement, LMI Group President Lawrence M. Shindell said that his organization has followed a “data -based approach” to verify the origin of the painting, and that it is “a new standard of trust to light unknown or forgotten work to be brought by important artists “
