Firstly I apologise to anyone considering bidding on this if you feel my post hurts your chances, but let's be honest this beauty would sell in a heartbeat if Elms were asking a king's ransom for it, so it's unlikely to go unnoticed or cheap come crunch time. Most of us here don't have the resources to make a serious offer without remortgaging our homes anyway.

Classic Neate and beautiful.
Wanna go splitsy's anyone

can work it like a time-share... a day each every year or 2.
Only way I think I'd be able to have one

It really is a beauty - the only down side is that there's no provenance and the canvas isn't on Adam's website.

If you're interested in bidding, the seller claims that he 'got it off a friend who was living with Adam in London about seven years ago'. Going by how much the AB piece is estimated at at the Drewetts Auction (£15k - £25k) this should go for big money but it's too risky for me without further provenance (and has already gone above my very limited budget )

I noticed it last night and think it's a cracker. I am no expert, but I would be surprised if it wasn't legit, it's too good ;D

That's true - it's very Neate-esque but, having watched The Artful Codgers last week, I'm now a bit more wary of fakes.

On the plus, I think you can take some confidence in that it appears Adam watches his stuff on eBay and notifies people if it is a fake (not exactly provenance though!).

ManchesterMike, where you hiding boss? (It was MM that identified the Dave The Chimp piece as non-Neate a little while back - it had AN's little sig' thingy on it)

This piece looks top notch though and I'm pretty sure it must be his work, it's just sooo him, it's an excellent example imo and I didn't question authenticity until it was mentioned here.

I am a big fan of Adam's work... but this one doesn't do anything for me. Good luck to the ones after it though!

It looks good to me, and no word that it isn't kosher... if I hear anything about ny works on there I'll let everyone know

Nice one Mike, cheers.
