"La quete du Graal" Forgery - SELLS AGAIN!!!


Auction end date: 1/12/2012
Sale price: 390 GBP, $615 USD
Details: purports to be from the limited edition print suite "La quete du Graal" titled Combat devant la Dame de Malehout (Field catalog #75-9F, p. 108); 67 cm x 51cm Japon; No. EA.
NOTE: this print does not exist as unnumbered EA on Japon paper, and the paper size is all wrong.  It appears to be a forgery, though IMO the signature looks darn good.

  • 2/18/2012 for 920 GBP, $1148 USD;
  • 7/8/2012 for 487 GBP, $766 USD.
We will no longer publish auction results of this print, and a number of other prints being sold by eBay user antik-planet-world, because repeated sales of the same prints makes the auction results appear unreliable.

"Song of Songs of Solomon" FORGERY: "Looke not upon mee ..." ("Reclining Nude").

Auction end date: 1/5/2012
Sale price: $165
Details: published by Leon Amiel; No. EA; 15.5" x 9.75" image on 22" x 15" paper.
NOTE: purports to be original intaglio #71-17C (Field pp. 70-71), but it is a forgery.  Original prints from this suite are not marked EA, and the paper size is consistent with known forgeries (Field p. 238).  The signature is suspect.





Mythology FORGERY: "Athena" (aka "God of War")

Auction end date: 1/5/2012
Sale price: $90
Details: none provided.
NOTE: purports to be original intaglio from Mythology print suite #63-3P (Athena), but is clearly an unauthorized print.  The title "God of War" is incorrect, the quality of the print is lacking, the signature is poor, and is there ever a slash (/) in E.A.?  There are known counterfeits from this suite (Field p.261).

Dali's "Deux Fatrasies" Fraudulent Etching.


Auction end date: 1/1/2011
Sale price: $85
Details: Don't be fooled by the Collector's Guild Don Quixote COA attached to the back of this fraudulent etching.  The title of this etching is actually "Diogene en Son Tonneau" from the book Deux Fatrasies (Field catalog #63-2(A), p. 23).  The plate was canceled with a single hole in the upper left, where the moon appears!  This moon identifies the print as one from a fraudulent edition made by Leon Amiel (Field catalog, pp. 238 & 240).
