TRANSLATION: Museum is a all about face-to-face experience. In order to get to know the work or object, or whatever, it doesn't matter how good the photo I put on the website. When one faces the piece in the museum room, one feels and perceives something that is difficult to experience through photo.
Paris, June 11 (EFE) -. (Camera: Martí Rodríguez) A replica of the famous painting by Leonardo Da Vinci La Gioconda, which in the 60s was claimed as true by its owner, Raymond Hekking, will be auctioned from on Friday until next Friday at Christie's in Paris with an estimated value of 200,000 euros.FOOTAGE OF THE MONA LISA REPLICA.SOUNDBITES OF PIERRE ETIENNE, ANCIENT ART DIRECTOR OF CHRISTIE’S FRANCE (IN FRENCH).Translation:1. This whole story is not a money story but a matter of conviction. Hekking was truly convinced that his version was the good one. And from there he entered a media game: in 1954 he summoned the regional press in Nice to tell them that he was challenging the Louvre to prove that his work was the original.2. He says that after the 1911 painting was stolen by an Italian thief, the painting that was returned to the Louvre by the police was not the original.3. We think that a collector can buy a replica like this because that way he will have this universal image, which is also from the 17th century. And he is also going to appropriate his history and thus have his own Mona Lisa.
