My name is Roberto Scafidi, artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina.I was shocked and amazed when a student in my class showed me a photograph of the MoMAs floor by this Jim Lambie, its a total rip off my work. Im working in this line since 1993, there are many catalogues and books in the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires that can prove what im saying. You can check some of my work at www.arssummum.net , a art history site from Spain , write my last name in the " busqueda" case and you could see. Its not "quite like it" its a detail of one of my works, every and each color, the composition, etc. I cant believe the lack of ethics of this guy,but ... Mark Harden of the Artchive knows my work since 2006, and many other people in the U.S ( Nina Colosi, N.Y art curator), and Europe.Got some coleector in Paris, Munich, Italy and Spain, besides Latin America. Please check what Im saying, you will see its true. I´ve been awarded some times, by the French Embassy in 1991´92, lived in Paris in The cité Internationale des Arts. I´m not saying this out of vanity, but to remark that I have
many years working behind me , and many people know my work, and couldn`t believe when they saw this plagiarization. I hope you can spread this news for the truths sake.
