To understand my list please read this first:
"The duck test" As Richard Cunningham said once:
“Suppose you see a bird walking around in a farm yard. This bird has no label that says ‘duck’. But the bird certainly looks like a duck.
Also, he goes to the pond and you notice that he swims like a duck. Then he opens his beak and quacks like a duck. Well, by this time you have probably reached the conclusion that the bird is a duck, whether he’s wearing a label or not.”
To these we add:
You conduct a mtDNA test to the bird, you get to know his parents, even the bird´s great-grandparents using the unfakable cells inside the bird and everything tells it’s a duck (PIGMENTS) , to this add an x-ray plaque and infrared images to see every hidden detail in the bird skeleton plus a test on the feathers to see they are not from an eagle or any other bird (SUPPORT & METHOD).
After comparision and deductive work with other ducks and birds results, if everything is totally correct then can it be finally called “duck” or we still require the farmer opinion (THE EXPERT)?

So, the only way I can add a work to this list is:
-Show me a photo of modigliani next to the work
while living
- Show me the Xray and let me compare.
- Show me pigments analysis and let me compare.
- Show me the support, let me analyze it and compare.

I do not give a dime for provenance, publications, exhibits, sales, certificates, past or actual experts say or have said.
Words and experts come and go.
Exhibits and publications can be manipulated (past or present).
Catalogue raisonné depends on money ( you are then you figure or you pay then your are in).
ONLY SCIENCE IS AN UNCONTESTABLE PROOF.
IF A WORK PRESENTS THE CORRECT PIGMENTS, XRAY, INFRARED, SUPPORT, METHOD FOR PAINTING AND IT COMES WITH AN ACCEPTABLE FORMAL VIEW, THEN YOU CAN CALL IT A MODIGLIANI:
EVEN IF WILDENSTEIN'S EMPLOYEES, THE PRISONER PARISOT OR DEAD EXPERTS SAY NO...
