media criticism
In this sense, Jorge criticized the way the information was published: “On another topic: ‘he bought fake paintings for 45 million pesos’. If they publish the cause, like they did, read it before you publish it, you idiots. Because the 45 million pesos is for the question, it’s not what I bought, if not, that’s what I’m asking for lost time, etc “, he reproached his colleagues.
“They say ‘twine that has 45 million pesos’. First, I’m a victim and most of the bills presented me as guilty. I’m not to blame for a band that cheats on me. I’m a victim “he repeated, visibly annoyed.
Jorge Lanata’s complaint was pronounced on June 3 last.
And he marked another journalistic mistake: “This mess was solved on June 3rd. It is not a quilombo that is open. It is solved. There is nothing to see, justice has already decided “.
Then, he went on to explain what really happened to his investment: “I bought the paintings in three years, at least. It’s not like I went with a string bag in a day and got the paintings. I buy and collect Argentine art. 95% of what is in that house is Argentine art and the rest is Uruguayan art. “
The works that Jorge Lanata bought.
“In art, as in life, he is also a quilombo. There are people in the world who forge, or there are fake certificates. Or there are relatives of painters who sell you certificates and end up painting magoya. It is very difficult to find experts, “she explained.
“It is a very small and very corporate market. Another problem: much of it is managed illegally. I am a large taxpayer. I want to know if everyone who talked about money pays blank“, he challenged, before ending the argument.
