Goofs in the world of fakes

April 13, 2010

At the start of 1520’s, Pope Climent VIII desired to gift Raphael’s masterpiece to margrave of Mantua, Federico Gonzaga. Although very soon he understood that he didn’t want present this masterpiece away. He made up his mind to make a trick. He ordered the dublicate of the masterpiece from Andrea del Sarto.

One of the most well known tricks of falsification happened in Renaissance era. Unfamiliar at that moment, youthful Michelangelo hidden his statue “Sleeping Cupid” in the ground. Later on, statue had been uncovered and sold to Cardinal Raphael Riario as an antique one, for 2 hundred ducats.

Vincent van Gogh’s masterpiece “Sunflowers” is considered to be the most amuzing dodge. Vincent has made around 10 types of a work “Sunflowers”, although one he thought to be the most beautiful. This work has been sold at Kristis auction for 40 million dollars. Eventually, it has turned out to be a fake. Such decision was created by the Italian critics. It was obvious from Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin’s letters. Gauguin liked Vincent’s work very much and he persuaded Vincent to give it to him for a short period of time, to look at it at his workshop. After Van Gogh’s death one more masterpiece (11th) surfaced. As it appeared to be later, Gauguin made a copy. And his pal Claude-Emil Shaffeneker claimed it to be the original. Owners of “Sunflowers” weren’t upset at all, as Gauguin’s masterpieces are also appreciated.

Scandalous Salvador Dali even after falling ill with Parkinson disease continued to write pictures with remarkable periodicity. Just after his death it became known that his woman Gala has employed youthful Spanish artist Manuel Puhol Paladas for painting works in the name of Dali. Manuel wrtote over 400 works, wash drawings, lithographs and about 2 hundreds oil pictures. This case is a kind of delicate and the critics hasn’t made up their mind yet, if these works must be related to the category of dublicates.

There also is a nonconventional way of a faking – “enhancement”. For this purpose they create the non-standard memoirs of the artist which would not leave public indifferent. Thus Elizabeth Durak one of students of the Australian art school has proceeded that way. In 70’s she has brought up – local Eddi Buropp. In the next years she has written a lot of pictures in peculiar style of natives in the name of the painter who never existed. When the public asked Elizabeth to show Eddi – pseudo ethno-artist has turned out to be the booze abuser. But Elizabeth wasn’t seriously criticized as her “promotion” has boosted attention to ethno art and to Australia as a cuounry.

Such well known painters as El Salvador Dali, Vincent van Gogh, Ogjust Renoir, Claude Monet, Cezanne, Frantsa Mark, Gustav Klimanta and Paul Gauguin’s are more frequently dublicated.

There is an exhibition of “150 legalized copies of well known pictures” in Italy. Value of such masterpieces go from 1 to 30 thousand euro. Customers of these pictures obtain a document that these masterpieces are «the exclusive masterpieces respecting a manner and the technics of the initial work and the following them».

Among owners of the official copies are such celebrities as Princess Diana, Antonio Banderas, Frenk Sinatra and many others.

Painting Copies

February 14, 2010

For people who are learning paint prints, these words can be embarrassing till they know more about it. Even Though paint prints are the essence of the duplicated picture of superior art like painting, it’s definitely more than making duplicates of amazing excellence. And, as if to the effort and passion involved in making art prints, every “duplicate” of the painting is regarded as an “original” and from time to time as an impression for their exclusivity in bringing living like novelty to the impressions.

The above must have given the notion of what these art work reproductions are and why they are spoken about a lot in informed circles. In reality, paint reproductions are usually made on art copies or like type on canvas and they are as a rule put on expositions and sale as framed posters, (or simply a poster) giclee, and limited numbers etc, nonetheless, they are an affordable choice to original works, although may be pricey. You can anticipate these art works of sophisticated paintings to be copied like any other photos or an original picture can be.

As I said in the primary paragraph, you may anticipate the art prints to be better than normal copy or photographic reproductions and you won’t overlook the richness and depth of colors with a high degree of feature and exactitude. Even in case they are made on paper, the excellence of paper will definitely be in flat matt outlook which makes the duplicates as near to a exclusive authenticity as possible.

For individuals who are interested, the paint copies are produced by balance lithography on exceptional quality paint paper, they aren’t the regular materials we watch on which the everyday advertisements are put but sophisticated art lithographs and prints realised for at least 2 or 3 times the appropriate price of a good poster. The reproductions of art copies usually carry a double number, primary part describing the amount of the art work out of whole amount the second number, (ex: 28/100. ) Sometimes, even though it barely adds to the cost of the art work, you may get to see the names of the duplicate and the publisher encrypted at the bottom or even the professionals’ seal as if to declare an icon of genuineness which has a real possibility of gaining in cost for a long time.

They are works of art by themselves, and are often handmade by artist-printmakers as precise copy or giclee (digital prints). Nevertheless, they make for a perfect method to show your artistic abilities at your place without investing a huge amount of money. You may purchase these fantastic units of “original” art from almost everywhere and on websites selling them.

Another interesting thing to pay attention to paint copies is that they are not produced in bulk. Many forms, embracing art prints suit whatever decor, house or work place and you can find giclee just about anywhere asserting their excellence and authority.
