A Gauguin painting in the collection of the Tate Gallery has been labelled a fake. Tahitans (c1891) an unfinished work has been in the Tate collection since 1917. It was purchased in 1910 by Roger Fry, the art critic who invented the word Post-Impressionism from Druet, a Paris art gallery then located at the Rue Royale which closed in 1938. The work is not entirely in Gauguin’s style and the gallery is not revealing the reason for the rejection.
