Fake painting in upcoming auction

It has been brought to my attention that there will be an art
auction, held by City Auction House in conjunction with The White
Gallery, called "Love Heart, Charity for the Children," as
written up in The Jakarta Post of Nov. 8, 2001.

Please be informed that one of the works is a forgery/fake, a
painting done by S. Kerton and titled Tukang Balon. Speaking on
behalf of the Kerton family, I do not want art lovers and
collectors to wrongly assume that this fake painting is actually
one of my father's, it most definitely is not! For my father's
name to be included as one of the participating artists is a
grave injustice. I have informed the organizers of this, but
there is no guarantee that they will withdraw the painting.
