Abstract (en)

Account of accusations by Jean Fabris (formerly secretary to Utrillo's widow and heir to her estate) that many works by Utrillo recently on the market are fakes. Reviews the criteria for making attributions, and questions Fabris's reliance on quality assessment alone as a categorical basis for attribution.
