Supreme Court of New South Wales judge Patricia Bergin is hearing a suit launched over an allegedly fake Albert Tucker painting by barrister Louise McBride. The respondents are auctioneer Christie’s, art dealer Alex Holland and Vivienne Sharpe, who had acted as adviser to McBride on the purchase of the work. The court on 24 July heard the testimony of Tucker expert Lauraine Diggins, who said she had doubts at the time about the authenticity of "Faun and Parrot"
