We reiterate that Fred Forest had the M.N.A.M, the Centre
Georges Pompidou sentenced by the Tribunal Administratif de Paris for
refusal to divulge information in June 1995. He wishes to emphasize the
fact that he harbours no grievances against the art trade itself, but that
he will continue to denounce the laxness of public institutions towards
it.
