Look! It’s on a street sign, it must be legit!

I've been told the owner has been in possession of this piece since 2003.
So clearly this is genuine….

And look! This stencil is almost the same as some of Banksy’s other stencils, so it must be legit!

That hurts my eyes looking at that.

Tape on the back looks old.

This is legit

[Lazarus II]

Lots of successful previous sales so must be legit.

I can't believe that some people are actually bidding for this crap.

I cant believe businesses can get away with auctioning it

[pellets]

It would be way more fun to just make your own. If only there was someone on the forum we could ask about how to make fake Banksy signs...

[Winter]

I use an auction results site and the majority of this crap finds its way on there. These auction sites could stop it easily stop it but are too busy enjoying the money.

Someone needs to get a website made, showing all fake art works being sold and previously sold, also naming the auction sites.

🤣 is this an april fools?

I thought the same. 35 bids on the ‘Monet’? I guess the jokes on the buyers, artists and maybe all of us watching this shenanigans unfold

[pellets]

Is this maybe a way to give fake items provenance? So that the next time they sell it that can be like “it was previously sold at auction, so it must be authentic”?

Cos that would definitely fall under the definition of money laundering

[ca]

who the f bids on those? Too much money and not enough brain I guess... i find it weird that so many uneducated buyers end up in those auctions.

[moron]

Is this an actual bricks and mortar sale room.

When an auction house puts the full name of an artist in the title. That means in major auction houses jargon that the artwork is by the artist. It could be used in litigation by any buyers who buy and find out the art is a Sexton Blake.

When the description gives the date which is on the art and shows so called museum labels etc on the back of paintings. There has to be a responsibility on the part of the sale room.

Is this an actual sale room or is it someone who just set up a website and created an online auction.

All of the art in this sale looks like it originated from one place. (seller)

Something for nothing mentality at play.

The saleroom says the art came from US and Europe sort of implying a European provenance for some of the art.

Those all look like they were painted by the same person.
But only some of the descriptions say “this may be a reproduction”.
The provenance seems to always be “from a private collection” as if that proves anything.

Buyers fall for the valuation cert.

There's even Bansky's take to Fake's "Love" piece. Buy the original while still on the cheap.

[zacksz 123123]

Aside from the JMB, Harring, and Warhol’s pieces looking like it’s all made from the same artist....

Pablo Picasso with such a low estimate is beyond the red flag

[Riotcops]

This is actually insane...

[pellets]

Someone should make a documentary where they follow one of these sales through to the home of the buyer and show their collection and in the end never tell them they have clearly purchased a load of fakes.

[sfnyc]

Or report the auction to the NY state AG to have them investigated / lose their auction license

internationalartauctiongallery.com is the website of this so called auction.



There is a good discussion with lots of info about this game in the site below.

Maybe using an online auction sales set up gives the sellers some sort of protection as in it's an auction so we are not responsible f it turns out to be moody, even if it's all our stuff in this auction.

Is that technically legal? Can an auctioneer sell their own art without admitting a conflict of interest?
