GillesPerrault, a Paris-based conservator and expert advisor to the supreme court of France (Cour de Cassation), has spent a whole year studying the plaster models, bronzes and moulds found in Guy Hain's foundry of Balland and other workshops.
Mr Perrault has calculated on the technical evidence that Hain made about 6,000 sculptures over and above the ones confiscated, only one-third of which have been traced, sold through international antique fairs such as TEFAF Maastricht, or at public auction; for example, Rodin's "Bronze Age" sold at Drouot in November 1989 for FF4 million.
GillesPerrault explains that Hain demonstrated a clear intention to commit fraud; in numerous cases, when Hain was collaborating with Georges Rudier he would mill off Georges' mark from sculptures and put on the mark of Alexis Rudier to make the pieces seem older.
