That is so sad that someone has taken the time to fake them! 😡
They look like they’re even folded the wrong way?

They actually look very good until you compare them together. Get your mate to leave a shitty feedback.

Tomorrow in Christies

STIK FUNDS A NEW WAVE OF SCULPTURE IN EAST LONDON
CHRISTIE’S TO AUCTION STIK'S BRONZE ‘HOLDING HANDS’ MAQUETTE ON BEHALF OF HACKNEY COUNCIL. PROCEEDS WILL FUND A NEW SCULPTURAL AND INSTALLATION ART PROGRAMME IN HACKNEY

Permanent four metre bronze sculpture titled ‘Holding Hands’ was recently unveiled by Hackney Council and STIK in Hoxton Square, East London

The unique, one-off quarter sized, working maquette of ‘Holding Hands’ is being offered at Christie’s ‘Post-War and Contemporary Art sale on Friday 23 October in London
Proceeds will create a groundbreaking new public fund to commission a new wave of public sculpture and installation by diverse artists in Hackney.

This week Christie’s are offering an original unique maquette on Friday (23 October) at Christie’s in London. All the money raised from the sale will go to Hackney Council for the creation of a new groundbreaking public art fund that will commission artists across East London with an inclusive remit.

‘Holding Hands’ depicts two figures facing in opposite directions yet holding hands in a sign of universal love and solidarity. Traditionally cast in patinated bronze, the four metre outdoor sculpture is roughly twice human height, the hands low enough for the viewer to reach, with legs forming a doorway to pass through. The unique quarter sized bronze maquette of ‘Holding Hands’ is for sale at Christie’s in London as part of their Post-War & Contemporary Art Day Sale.

‘Holding Hands’ was gifted to Hackney Council by STIK and all the money raised from the sale of the maquette will create a new wave of outdoor public art across the borough for the enjoyment of all, reflecting the diverse community. Operated in a transparent and inclusive way, the fund will be open to all artists regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, age or other status. The programme aims to respond to evolving attitudes towards public statues and subsequent reappraisal across the world.

Artist STIK says:
‘This project is intended to facilitate artists in East London to celebrate the diverse communities who live here.’

Mayor of Hackney Philip Glanville, said:
‘I’d like to thank STIK for his record of activism, collaborating with the borough and this generous donation. We’re proud in Hackney to be able to support and share the creativity of our residents. This represents a longstanding commitment to inclusive public art that can be enjoyed by everyone in our parks and public spaces and I can’t wait to see the creativity that STIK is helping us to showcase and unlock.’

Maybe they are selling them in other accounts or other places.

Someone told my mate he was sold a fake set from another ebay user. 

They should post the sellers ebay account on here

If you held the real poster in your hand you can tell these are fakes straight away.

We weighed them, the fake one is "double" the weight of the real one. 

Definitely leave negative feedback with photos and report the seller to Ebay.

Ebay has to take selling fakes seriously?

I would imagine the seller could lose their Ebay account! (hopefully)

Looks like he's having a go at some Invader fakes as well, although eBay have asked for new listing details on these, hence the title and description. Has a lot of these up!

If in doubt, just buy from other trusted collectors and sources here.
Pretty easy to spot scammers on ebay, no ones going to have an endless supply of sets for a very long time - particularly in mint condition.

I have a few REAL blue that I'm going to try to get signed to auction for the local food bank end of Nov/Dec.
So if anybody is looking for one you can be sure its real and that the money goes back to the community that the gifts were intended for. I'll advertise it on here once it gets listed on eBay.
*It also comes with the newspaper.

I haven't even got them signed yet!  If/when I do I will definitely let everyone know.  I just posted so any potential buyers can buy with confidence once they become available.

*They are currently being flattened under stacks of magazines and on last check they are looking very crease free.

Wow! Not surprised. Its a beauty!!

the videos of him making them using what appears to be a type of lost wax process were super cool, and great to see him being so involved in the process.

Fortunately, teal are much harder to find in good shape, so, if yours are of good quality, you should be all set.
