**WARNING ADAM NEATE FAKES**, by arcam on Nov 7, 2007 0:34:26 GMT 1, Please be aware that someone is leaving fake street pieces on the streets of the East End. Its not likely to be too long before they also start appearing on ebay.
With thanks to PA from Wall Candy for this.

**WARNING ADAM NEATE FAKES**, by Harveyn on Nov 7, 2007 0:52:31 GMT 1, Cheers Arcam
Devious indeed leaving them on the street. What next posting them on Adam's site (maybe thats why he has taken all the images down)?
I am no expert in Adam's work but I am certainly an admirer. These pieces do not even look remotely right. Even some of his most primitive and basic SPs have something about them. Quite an achievement considering how minimal some of them can be. These do not even look remotely like Adam's work. There are terrible.
I wonder whether given the sudden increase in value of his SPs (ยฃ500 to ยฃ5000) and given that this is not the first time people have tried to forge his work will Adam stop leaving pieces on the street? I hope not.
Cheers Arcam

**WARNING ADAM NEATE FAKES**, by dave313perry on Nov 7, 2007 1:09:09 GMT 1, If you ask me it was probably a little test to get some pieces out there and see if they are noticed as fakes - if not they can then continue to re-produce them as they please and flog on ebay for 500-1000 a time! bloody scammers, no other word really

**WARNING ADAM NEATE FAKES**, by Suit on Nov 7, 2007 13:57:37 GMT 1, May be sh** but not really fakes since they are being left around for free and not "really" claiming to be Neats.
Free art for people if it gets them interested is always a good thing, and we're talking about!

Of course they're claiming to be Neates, they've got his sig for a start.

**WARNING ADAM NEATE FAKES**, by Suit on Nov 7, 2007 15:21:07 GMT 1, I think my point was whoever has made them is not trying to profit from them so can not see why "faking" them is such an issue.
If any thing the presence of these on the market will bring the price down due to the the added risk of ending up with one.
After all, the original intention of the free prints was for people to benefit from aesthetically not financially and if this makes it less likely for a quick buck to be made out out the artists generosity that's great news!
