Despicable auction, by pellets on Apr 2, 2020 16:08:27 GMT 1, “PLEASE NOTE: Lots that do not carry established documented provenance nor any past auction record are described in this catalog as "in the style of". Authentication has not been established nor is it implied. Definition of "in the style of" is as follows:
"In the style of" [Artist Name] : The work may be ascribed to the artist on the basis of style, but there may be some question as to actual authorship“
Why even have the auction at all? It doesnt contain any real art

Someone needs to get a website made, showing all fake art works being sold and previously sold, also naming the auction sites.

Despicable auction, by pellets on Apr 2, 2020 23:15:37 GMT 1, Is this maybe a way to give fake items provenance? So that the next time they sell it that can be like “it was previously sold at auction, so it must be authentic”?
Cos that would definitely fall under the definition of money laundering

Despicable auction, by moron on Apr 3, 2020 0:15:41 GMT 1, Is this an actual bricks and mortar sale room.
When an auction house puts the full name of an artist in the title. That means in major auction houses jargon that the artwork is by the artist. It could be used in litigation by any buyers who buy and find out the art is a Sexton Blake.
When the description gives the date which is on the art and shows so called museum labels etc on the back of paintings. There has to be a responsibility on the part of the sale room.
Is this an actual sale room or is it someone who just set up a website and created an online auction.
All of the art in this sale looks like it originated from one place. (seller)

The saleroom says the art came from US and Europe sort of implying a European provenance for some of the art.

Those all look like they were painted by the same person. But only some of the descriptions say “this may be a reproduction”. The provenance seems to always be “from a private collection” as if that proves anything.

Pablo Picasso with such a low estimate is beyond the red flag

Despicable auction, by moron on Apr 5, 2020 23:22:13 GMT 1, internationalartauctiongallery.com is the website of this so called auction.
There is a good discussion with lots of info about this game in the site below.
forum.findartinfo.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12733
Maybe using an online auction sales set up gives the sellers some sort of protection as in it's an auction so we are not responsible f it turns out to be moody, even if it's all our stuff in this auction.
Is that technically legal? Can an auctioneer sell their own art without admitting a conflict of interest?
