Alyes Auction This Weekend, by Grillocracy on Feb 14, 2019 18:34:51 GMT 1, Some interesting pieces in this online auction this Saturday from Alyes Auctions including some Murakami prints. I'll be interested to see how heavy the bidding is on several items.
If anyone had a keen eye while watching the recent movie "Beautiful Boy", there was a framed letter from Keith Haring hanging in the kitchen that was very similar to the one offered here. I should go back through the movie and find a screenshot but I remember it mentioned liking t-shirts he sent...

It's all gone smoothly and things are well packaged. It's based in Hong Kong but they state that some items are sent from Paris and other locations. However, I bought an item which stated its location as France and then found it was shipped from China. Fortunately he put a low value on the customs form but it could have cost me a fortune in UK customs duties.

Alyes Auction This Weekend, by Pattycakes on Feb 15, 2019 12:24:17 GMT 1, Having looked at the catalogue all I will say is that there are a number of fake and very questionable "after" lots early on in the sale so I'd advise caution there. The Murakami lots all look fine however.

The Murakami lots all look fine however. Just out of curiosity, which ones? (if you dare) Haven't gone through the catalogue thoroughly and I'm far from an expert on many of the artists on sale. |

Haring all wrong, Koons likewise, I could go on. Not sure who these guys are but they either don't know or are just wilfully selling fakes, either way they are ones to be avoided I think you are being a bit unfair here. As far as the Koons balloon figures are concerned the site explicitly states that they are an edition from a studio that issued them, i.e. they are not by Jeff Koons. The estimates themselves show you that they are not genuine Koons figures. These are not 'fakes' and the auction site is not selling them pretending they are originals. They are editions based upon Koons original balloon figures. Presumably you are thinking the Harings are fakes for the same reason. |
