Provenance?, by Bbb on Nov 8, 2007 22:39:53 GMT 1, Hi,
Is it okay to buy a print with only the POW stamp and numbering. I'm buying off of ebay and the seller also bought of ebay and doesnt have the original receipt?
Thanks

You're best off asking the seller for the name of the original owner (if they know it) and then contacting POW who can verify that name for you.

As Jellya said, get POW to confirm the original owner if at all possible.
I'm presuming you are going to be spending a fair bit of cash, so I'd wait for a 'cleaner' one to come up if they cant help

It's the only thing to do if a print ain't legit.

If your gut instinct is that its not 100% - then walk away.
Our instincts are usually correct.

(it should ultimately decide how high your bid will be). I would always pay a premium if there is full provenance as (a) I want to make sure its real and (b) it will also affect its future value/saleability. It gets messy if you win a ten day auction only for you to make your enquiries afterwards and pull out. There was also a fake love rat earlier this year (with a fake pow stamp) so be wary! Best of luck

no prov - if you're never going to sell it - is no problem.
on the other - hand
no prov may mean no sale - if you do decide to sell.
people are only going to become more cautious of prints
with no prov.
piece of mind....says
Get the number and line of prov from current owner.
check orig owner with pow - game over.
Current owner should be more than flexible on you doing
this - as you're only doing something - which , ahem , they
should have done for you, the buyer, already.
If you find they're not - read this as bad news - steer clear.
good luck
