James Stunt responds to yet another nonsensical interview by the peddler of junk Ian Towning and confirms the ratbag as a prat who knows zilch about art

In response to a badly written and appallingly researched article in the MailOnline yesterday about a Monet painting he owns, businessman James Stunt took to Instagram to call out the paper and an individual they quote as an “expert” named Ian Towning.

 

Speaking to his “friends and followers,” Stunt remarked:

 

“Ian Towning wouldn’t know the front of a picture from the back of a picture… I think Ian Towning is not qualified.”

 

James Stunt is spot on and we join those saluting him for calling out a nobody who “peddles junk” in a market shop-style emporium. His painting has been confirmed as genuine by several genuine experts and ‘Tosspot Towning’ has been shown again as somebody best known for hanging out with the thankfully now dead paedophile Max Clifford.

 

To bid on James Stunt’s ‘Le Village De La Roche-Blond Au Soleil Couchant’ by Claude Monet, click here. A percentage of funds raised will go to charitable causes.

  2. Towning does not even know about jewellery. My friend took something to his shop and he “valued” it for next to nothing. She then sold the very same item to another dealer for ten times that. Beware of this “man” or whatever you might call him.
