What Is With Christie's Auction House Guarantee?
You go into an auction house like sothevis a, christie's, and you kind of assume that if it's sold, naturally it's going to the genuine article. However, when you read the fine print in the back of the catalogue, it's usually listed as conditions of sales. There are a number of clauses, paragraphs, dis claimers. They don't guarantee an authenticity of the painting. These little symbols may n that they think it signed by the artist, or it might not be signed by theArtist. What more could i possibly ask for? I said, this is like an open invitation to put fakes into the sales rooms.
