During the bubble years of the 1980s and 90s Japanese art collectors bought numerous famous artworks from Europe. In 1999 the Tokushima Art Museum purchased a painting it believed was a cubist painting entitled “At the Cycle-Race Track” by French painter Jean Metzinger (1883-1956) for ¥67.2 million. [6]
Over the years the museum exhibited it roughly four times, as well as lending it to other museums for display.
In June 2024, they were contacted by someone suggesting to them that the painting was a fake. [6] The museum decide on July 10 that they would no longer display the painting, as they accepted that it was a forgery. The infamous German art forger Wolfgang Beltracch claims that this is indeed the case, and that the artwork was one of the paintings he forged roughly fourth years ago. [7]
