Think art fraud is only for the high-end, rarified air of museums and private collections? It only affects the rich, right? Think again. Where there's money, there are scammers. Schemes and fakes have been part of art throughout its history. Because demand can exceed the supply of rare things, the majority of ancient Greek sculpture sold in slightly-less-ancient Rome were fakes and of the 400 paintings by Camille Corot, 3000 are in America.* As the price of art skyrocketed in the 20th century, as technology advanced, and as the American middle class grew strong and blossomed into art buyers, the art schemers found new ways to run an old con and a new audience to run it on.
In this article, I'll go over the first of three distinct areas in which great profits have been made by being less than forthcoming with the facts in the art world. The three are: the name everyone knows, the new process, and outsourcing the time-tested image.
The Name Everyone Knows
Salvador Dali marketed himself very well, and both the man and his art were readily recognized during his lifetime. Since his death in 1989, his celebrity has only increased.
In the space of two weeks, two separate clients came to our gallery, each with a Salvador Dali etching of Don Quixote. Each framed image had a Certificate of Authenticity glued to the back.The etching process, part of the larger art field called printmaking, was adapted from the craft of armor making in the 1400's, and it is intended to produce an edition (several of the same image), all of which are considered originals. So the Dali's sound fine. Right?
The missing detail: these two images were identical in every aspect, except one. They were slightly different sizes. Either one or both were fakes. I found several etchings of these very same etchings on the web today for around $500. Dali, himself, was perhaps the biggest forger of Dali's. He was caught selling blank paper with his signature on it, and he is quoted as saying that if Dali made money from it, it's a Dali. The International Foundation for Art Research says, "The extent of Dali's own involvement in the production of prints bearing his name is highly problematic." Not good. Add unscrupulous dealers willing to contribute to the confusion and Dali's legacy of fraud is so huge that much of his work on paper is considered suspect.
Is Dali the only one? Of course not. Picasso wasn't an art saint either, but the shenanigans during his lifetime have likely been cleared away, and the catalog of his true work is dependable. That catalog, however, doesn't stop shady dealers from producing bogus works. The top four faked artists, Dali, Picasso, Miro, and Chagall, are still sold to the unwary with lovely, but meaningless, certificates of authenticity for thousands of dollars. Rembrandt and Durer etchings are fraudulently reproduced also. The image may be the artist's, but the metal etching plate is new, made from a photo of some reproduction of the image, and the paper is new. It's little more than a poster and it's value is not over $100 - certainly not the $5000 these things are known to sell for.
Rembrandt, Picasso, Dali are the household names of art. We have been repeatedly assured by museums and art experts that their artwork is top quality. The names alone are an amazing sales tool. The idea of getting a Rembrandt etching for $5000 may even strike us as quite a deal - and, if it weren't a fake, it certainly would be. But if we ask ourselves how many original Rembrandt etchings there would have to be in order for this fancy dealer to move from group to group around the country or the high seas selling the image again and again, the story of its rarity becomes questionable. The numbers just don't work out - at least not favor of legitimacy.
What to do? First recommendation, buy from a dealer or gallery that you know, that's been around for several years, and has a good reputation. Second recommendation, buy from living artists - while being wary of those with huge marketing campaigns. Rare is the artist who can supply 5 galleries with original work, much less 500 galleries (but that's the next article). That $5000 for a "Rembrandt" etching could just as well buy a genuine, honest-to-goodness, one-of-a-kind, well-done painting that you could always feel good about owning and your kids and grandkids could fight over when you're gone.
* The numbers change every time I see reference to the over-production of Corot-like paintings. But you get the idea.
