It's fascinating that in a world where paper trails exist and living artists and galleries can authenticate works, people go for the stuff that doesn't have any of that.
It's like removing all the doors from your home and wondering who all the strange people are inside and why you keep getting robbed.

It makes sense in what you state , but the pest control authenticated market is out of reach of all the people buying these types of items .
Just needs honest people in charge of the market organisers

Right. And if you want a Banksy image on your wall, get a WCP or obvious bootleg that has little to no value. Don't try to put "value" in the non pest control stuff because it won't exist in the long term.

You might think I have special psychic powers but I have a small feeling you don't own any Banksy ephemera do you? 😉🤣

Dear lord, no. I passed on the posters from pow for 10 or the pack of three for 10 and the peckham rock for 1.50 from the Bristol museum gift shop. I have a WCP Napalm in a flat file somewhere.

They must have bought the door and locks from Tate Ward

Tate Ward selling fakes!, by orenic on Dec 30, 2020 10:00:14 GMT 1, As a point of interest, I was going through the process of selling a B through one of the Bond Street Houses and as part of the sale process they get Pest Control in to check the work and provide a new COA and destroy the original one (which they insist upon). Not exactly authentication but as near as damn it. That would be a respectable auction house that isn’t deceitful, conscious about maintaining their reputation and not in this for a quick buck. Tate Ward are none of these.
Anyone hear anything back about the Warhol’s a from Tate ?

They think by not saying anything this will go away, this will go on for months
Maybe police are involved now?

I’m pretty sure there will be police action taken..... also the fact that they are not responding about all the fake Warhol’s won’t look good for them.
Unless they have contacted all the Warhol buyers and made the situation right.
Anyone know?

I would expect they have taken legal advice on this and even Lionel Hutz, Attorney At Law would advise his client to stop posting on here.

They don't deserve the benefit of the doubt at all here. This is a joke.

I’m speculating that you are implying that I’m taking TW’s side, thats not the case. Nomatter how this pans out for TW and the folks who have purchased fakes, this is a total clusterfck.
Im just saying that I would expect that TW would have taken legal advice on this and any two boab lawyer would tell them to stop posting on an internet forum.

Refunding yes, compensating, NOPE.

Any 'two boab lawyer' would tell them that they are allowed to tell their clients/buyers/etc. that they are in the midst of a legal battle and cannot disclose any further information. Any person running a business would realize this is a common sense thing to do to keep the buyer pool updated on the current clusterfuck situation. TW has not done that.

You are defending their actions, and I do not see the benefit of that. I do not think your defense is rational either. I think TW fucked up and their silence is indefensible.

Tate Ward selling fakes!, by artmonster on Jan 4, 2021 18:41:10 GMT 1, Well, my opinion is:
- I was approached by TW regarding one of my Banksy’s. He seemed professional and friendly, but (in hindsight) gave advice that was incorrect (possibly to tempt me to sell). That was not a great memory, I don’t like being pushed...
- where there is smoke (a lot of smoke), there is often a fire. It doesn’t really matter whether they respond here or not. Would it make a difference to your perception, really?
So, my reasoning would be: stay away
BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t redeem yourself. I firmly believe in second chances...it just takes time.

I’ve said i expect that they’ll have taken legal advice and I would think a lawyer would advise them not to post any more on an internet forum, particularly a forum in which some of their own previous posts dont do them any favours.

Well if that’s the case they should never be allowed on here to try and drum up business for any future fraudulent sales. I think that’s more than fair !!
