Dear Janet,
On 2018-02-23 you asked me from who the correspondece from the Van Gogh Museum came. See the two attached mails.
I gave you a wrong answer:
It is NOT C.H.(Kees) van den Meiracker, Head of collections and preservation Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam
but Marije Vellekoop, Hoofd Collectie en Onderzoek VGM, telefoon 020-5705254. ( Head Department Collections and Research VGM) since 1 january 2013
and since 1995 working and since 1990 researcher at the VGM vellekoop@vangoghmuseum.nl
See https://www.linkedin.com/in/marije-vellekoop-b7a28892/ and
http://www.kunsthistorici.nl/uit-het-veld/vacature-van-gogh-specialist-junior-onderzoeker-van-gogh-museum/ see last line , and
https://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/nl/kennis-en-onderzoek/onderzoeksprojecten/bestandscatalogi se last line
I found this as follows:
Since januari 2018 the VGM visits monthly our website to monitor the progress of our project.
From feb. to july from computers in the VGM in Amsterdam, but on 17 august from a computer on a home address in Heemstede ( a village at 10 miles from Amsterdam ).
I looked, who of the staff of the VGM lives in Heemstede and found: P. M. Vellekoop, Offenbachlaan 67, 2102ZP, Heemstede, 023-5746355
I think that P. M. Vellekoop is the same as Marije Vellekoop .
Some info from Christie's:
"The Van Gogh Museum is considered at the authority in the field of Van Gogh and according to internal poilcy, Christie’™s can only put up the paintings for auction when the proof of authenticity of the paintings is issued by the Van Gogh Museum."
Best regards, Hans Leibbrandt

Dear Hans,
Please do not be too discouraged. I expected this answer.
Please advise, who the correspondence was from.
I don't need to see the written denial just who reviewed your work.
