Fine Art Fraud, Picasso, Chagall, Dali, Miro
73Fine Art Fraud, Picasso, Chagall, Dali, Miro
Whether you are an art investor, art collector, or looking to start dealing art or open an art gallery, you need to read this!
There are many books selling on the internet and ebay about the subject of art fraud and art fraud on ebay. I am offering this information that I have researched over the years for FREE, all based upon my personal experience and knowledge. There is nothing to buy or download, no eBooks here. I will show you photos of many fake and unauthorized pieces after Dali, Picasso, Chagall, Calder, and more. I will be uploading this information as it is accumulated, so bookmark and come back often as all of this information is currently unfolding. There have been many indictments throughout the years, the most recent and most important to date are the seven indictments for alleged roles in a $5 million dollar art fraud ring of selling counterfeit art prints. The most incredible person involved is Leon Amiel, Jr., also known as "Leon Glass," Leons parents, grand parents, sister and aunt (among others) were involved and sent to prison for "The Great Dali Fraud" which there is a book out called "The Great Dali Fraud". Expect to see a new book by that author soon. Those last 7 indictments are not the end, I expect 2 dozen more by the end of this investigation. I will update this site as information comes in. I thought it was more important to release as much information asap, please be patient and visit often as the site expands and becomes more organized!
I am not a self proclaimed art expert, I am an art dealer specializing in prints; Lithographs, Etching, Serigraphs, Linocuts, and the like. I have shocking and important knowledge on the subject of counterfeited prints and unauthorized reproductions that you need to know before buying or selling. If you happen to buy one of these counterfeited prints the FEDS may knock on your door one day and take it, leaving you empty handed!
Every year, art consumers worldwide lose hundreds of millions of dollars purchasing supposedly valuable commodities that do not live up to their billing. You should be aware that counterfeit "art prints" are included in these items.
More and more people are using the art market for their investments. Over the last years articles can be found in Time magazine, Business Weekly and The Wall Street Journal telling of the positive aspects of investing in art. On MSNBC there have been programs dedicated to investing in art. Ebay and the internet have been a popular choice for buying fine art for new investors, however there are many counterfeits and unauthorized reproductions that have even fooled me as a professional art dealer.
Some of the most repeatedly counterfeited prints and unauthorized reproductions (lithographs, serigraphs, etchings, etc.) are after famous artists such as Salvador DALI, Pablo PICASSO, Marc CHAGALL, Liechtenstein, and Joan MIRO.
Most people that shop ebay want the best possible deal they can find anywhere. People think because it is on ebay it must be the best deal out. Many people that target a piece of art for auction will snipe the bid at the last 10 seconds, they try to snatch that piece at the lowest price possible thinking that they are pulling a fast one on the seller. There is a reason you can buy (win, snipe) that hand signed Picasso for under $1000.00, the reason is that it is fake or an un-authorized reproduction.
I have PRE-launched a new site dedicated to this problem. All of the information is FREE, nothing to buy, no ebooks to download. Registration will be rewuiored once the site is complete.
