I was trying to find the original sale thread where the seller was trying to sell these fakes, but looks like it's gone.
Was there ever any conclusion to it? Was the original seller named and shamed?

 the original seller was a staff member Wearology   


  conclusion: Wearology had the thread taken down then went silent

Wearology contacted me to explain what happened. I was trying to find out the original seller that sold to him, but still not sure who that was, as I think he was just acting as a middle man.
A good shout by irl1 though for spotting them quickly before any money was handed over and possibly some big scams.

Are there any decent books people can recommend about Hambleton? Keen to learn some more about his work.

If you haven’t seen it the documentary Shadowman is well worth a look

Fake Richard Hambletons on ebay

Seller of this one says

I HAVE to sell this through eBays rules and guidelines as ''In the style or manner of Richard Hambleton'' Even though to myself and others the painting itself is 100% authentic.

The cringingly titled ‘Hero in Art: The Vanished Traces of Richard Hambleton’ is the pick of the bunch.

Would anyone have a link where these are available? Many thanks

[John The Badgers]

Le Grand Jeu were selling some copies last year, might be worth an email.
He's also a member here, but can't remember his username.

lv these are the fakes Wearology was selling

I am posting these paintings to make people aware that these are not by the hand of Richard Hambleton.
They did not look right to me when i first saw them so i had them checked out by experts.
Two Hambleton experts have said they are fakes but i cannot name them. Its up to buyers to make their own minds up if they are offered them and decide to take a chance, but you have been warned.  

Please don't ask me questions as i don't know anything about them.

Dominic Cummings is still chief advisor... 😉

[lv90210]

Haha

[Terry Fuckwitt]

To be fair, he was advised they were 100% legit and removed the sale post once irl confirmed they were fakes. I don't think he was trying to deceive anyone here and probably didn't realise the Hambleton market was riddled with fakes at the time. I do think it would have been best not to have removed the original posts though, as that doesn't help any potential future buyers.

He should name the seller on here, why hide the sellers name? 

We were told the seller was one of the biggest Hambleton collectors in the World, not much of a collector if he had at least ten fakes in his collection.

Definitely, anybody selling fakes should be outed and then it's up to them to defend themselves or put right.
Wearology told me they all came with a COA and were from the foremost expert on Richard Hambleton who was featured in the movie Shadowman.
