Either it is one of the original hand-signed copies with signatures all over the place in black and silver ink, plus the printed red ones, or it has been mis-represented.

Did I just buy a [print]Poster signed by Warhol, Haring, Ono, by garfunkle on Apr 25, 2013 20:31:53 GMT 1, I emailed fab and got this reply:
Thanks so much for writing in! I totally understand you wanting to know what you will be spending - especially after spending a pretty penny
I just took a look at the product description and it says, "Created in 1985 for Rain Dance, a benefit for the African Emergency Relief Fund, this original poster brings together five Pop Art masters in a single design. A collaboration between Jean-Michel Basquiat, Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, Yoko Ono, and Andy Warhol, the spectacular piece shows elements easily attributed to each artist, which come together to form an aesthetically cohesive whole. This seminal poster is signed by Basquiat, Lichtenstein, Haring, Ono, and Warhol, and also features printed versions of each artistโs signature."
According to the description, you will be receiving a signed poster with those signatures. We are not allowed to sell phony products, so you will be receiving what you read above.

remove "also" from the last sentence and it makes a whole lot more sense.
Why would the print have printed signatures, and then they all sign it themselves? Especially not at this price.

The one with only printed sigs (in red) is only $650. Either a steal of the century for the UK drop, or you're getting just the printed ones.

Is Monroe a good price?

Did I just buy a [print]Poster signed by Warhol, Haring, Ono, by Deleted on Apr 25, 2013 22:48:50 GMT 1, am contemplating grabbing La Grande Passion.... That is my pick for the best of the bunch. (and not just because I own one)
It is the only one with a documented signed/numbered edition of 100 that regularly sells at the big auction houses. With the estate and the foundation stamps, it is my opinion that in a few years it will be selling very close to the signed copies.

edit: LOL, Fab gets it wrong again, this poster is an offset not a screenprint.

Hopefully the signature issue gets sorted too.

It's on hold for hours but I don't know if it's really worth that much. At that price, without an autograph, I would say forget it. Plus that poster is almost 20 years too late to be of relevance to original Marilyn releases, such as the Castelli invite which regularly sells very well.
double edit: Best bargain may be the Perrier poster at $600. Original poster design and won an award, plus from his own collection/estate. Win/Win

Did I just buy a [print]Poster signed by Warhol, Haring, Ono, by Goooogle Male on Apr 26, 2013 11:16:42 GMT 1, To answer my original question...NO.
I just had fab check direct with Warhol foundation and the poster does not have hand signing, despite the listing clearly stating that it does. Needless to say, order has now been cancelled.
Not really that gutted as kind of believed it was too good to be true from the start, but still annoying as for 24 hours I thought I might have bagged a great bargain there!

No their english is impeccable, no probs with translation! It was a web admin error - they used the listing from the one signed one (on the USA site) for their unsigned ones in EU. its been amended now.

Did I just buy a [print]Poster signed by Warhol, Haring, Ono, by twist65 on Apr 26, 2013 17:41:09 GMT 1, yeah I saw it too when listed and guessed it had been mis-listed. Don't really think there's bargains to be had on Fab, I figured they just had a pile of bottom end stuff that didn't make it into Christies. Shame someone didn't manage to get them to honour their listing error though! In fairness Fab customer service is excellent, never bought art off them but very helpful on other stuff / returns etc.
