Clausen Arrested Over Spurious Homer Martin Paintings
William Clausen, a New York picture dealer on East Thirty-fifth Street, was arrested and jailed after authorities charged him with deceit in selling two allegedly original Homer D. Martin paintings to William Evans. Evans alleges the works were forged and had back canvases stained to imitate age, with multiple affidavits from former Clausen employees supporting the fraud claim. Bail set at 2500, and a third related action involving George Inness is expected.
