From the Koutoulakis Collection
Peter Watson explored the relationship between Giacomo Medici and Nikolas Koutoulakis. Koutoulakis' name also appears in the 'organigram'. So would a potential buyer be nervous if a Greek object was on offer with its stated collecting history ("provenance") as 'from the Koutoulakis collection'?

The gallery states Koutoulakis collection on the label displayed with the object. It is significant that the gallery places a great emphasis on "good provenance".
