In 2006 Lyn Fuss bought a still life Glass Jug with Pears on Plates by celebrated British artist William Nicholson. William may have been overshadowed by his more famous son Ben Nicholson, but William's paintings are very collectable and fetch high prices. Lyn paid £165, 000 for her Nicholson. Then in 2011 Lyn was told her picture wouldn't appear in the official catalogue raisonne of Nicholson's work. The implication is it's a fake and, as such, is worth next to nothing. Could there have been a mistake? This is a very personal journey for Lyn since she bought the painting from the gallery of her deceased aunt, who was an authority on Nicholson and wrote the previous catalogue raisonne. The team tries to establish if this is a genuine Nicholson. Lyn not only wants to establish if she has lost the £165, 000 investment but also hopes it's a chance to clear her aunt's name.
