Basically anything without a complete provenance should be considered fake even though it may be described as authentic. I am an experienced art collector/dealer and I estimate that 35% to 50% of all drawings and paintings being sold through the auction platforms is fake. I cannot list all the auction houses but here are some: 500 Gallery aka Collection W in Franklin MA, Miami Auction Gallery, etc. The list is endless. Some get their fakes from a mill in the former Soviet Republic as well as Russia. In fact; the best copies are coming from these countries right now. What makes it worse is that auction houses listed as being in London are actually operated by Russians. CULTURAL TRADITION for example. Search for the sales history of Wook Kyung Choi and you will find it. Or have a look at ART-TORG in Prague, Czechia. They are currently the biggest distributor of fakes in Europe. All copies sold as real. It is just out of control. In fact. I am thinking of getting out of the art business entirely. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182607262530091408.post-71133152028177019352024-01-07T17:39:16.347+01:002024-01-07T17:39:16.347+01:00thank you for this post thank you for this post Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182607262530091408.post-37487207981968830402023-12-26T09:32:09.985+01:002023-12-26T09:32:09.985+01:00I will not bid on items at liveauctioner again.

With almost 50 years experience, owner of a couple authentic autographs (signed checks) and visibility to hundreds of Bruce Lee autographs over the years the number of fake Bruce Lee autographs on liveauctioneers.com is unforgivable. Yes, some are good fakes but fakes all the same. Most aren't even close. And if anybody really thought they were real they'd be bringing way more than $250 - $500. Liveauctioneers.com knows they're fake but they don't care because you can't hold them liable and they still get paid. Stay away.

It has been sold by Sotheby's the 30th of March 2017, lot 16. The description says "in the manner of Dirk Bouts", without mentionning a period. The expert of the sales was clearly cautious. In addition, tou can see on the pictures of the Hampel sales, 2 labels on the back of the painting. The labels indicate the origin and the period of the painting "Flamish school, XV century". You can see also on the labels that someone (the expert of Sotheby's sale?) wrote the word "Faux" (wrong).

His long dropping moustache, present in every other portrait, including ones commissioned by himself, is absent. Not likely to be from 1599, as Tycho would've been 52 (or 53 if painted after Dec 14th) and this man looks in his 30s. The chains around the sitter are not obviously golden. The nose though is interesting, as you say although duels amongst Danish nobles, and therefore injuries of this kind, quite common. Maybe I'm wrong - it would be very interesting if it were Tycho!Brian Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07231884513076675253noreply@blogger.com
