<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 162059, member: 37&quot;]The whole issue of copyright and image ownership was tested by the E. M. Washington fiasco.&nbsp; It really turned the art world on its ear and is a fascinating read if you are not familiar with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>A couple articles.....</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._M._Washington" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._M._Washington" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._M._Washington</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://myauctionfinds.com/2014/09/10/e-m-washington-an-artist-who-was-tagged-a-cheat/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://myauctionfinds.com/2014/09/10/e-m-washington-an-artist-who-was-tagged-a-cheat/" rel="nofollow">http://myauctionfinds.com/2014/09/10/e-m-washington-an-artist-who-was-tagged-a-cheat/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The original works sold included false dates.&nbsp; Later ones were undated.&nbsp; I own a couple of these with false dates that I paid about $10.00 each for once the scam was revealed.&nbsp; They are killer images, interesting, and collectible for the forgeries that they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>A local antiques and art dealer here had a couple in his shop at $350.00 each.&nbsp; I spoke with him about them and told him to look it up on the internet.&nbsp; He replied that he did not <i>do</i> internet and stood by the works as presented.&nbsp; About a year later, he still had the works but they were priced $60.00 each. There was still no mention of them being forgeries.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some listed on ebay right now.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=e+m+washington&amp;_osacat=0&amp;_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xe+m+washington+print.TRS0&amp;_nkw=e+m+washington+print&amp;_sacat=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=e+m+washington&amp;_osacat=0&amp;_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xe+m+washington+print.TRS0&amp;_nkw=e+m+washington+print&amp;_sacat=0" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=e+m+washington&amp;_osacat=0&amp;_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xe+m+washington+print.TRS0&amp;_nkw=e+m+washington+print&amp;_sacat=0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>They do sell.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_sacat=0&amp;rmvSB=true&amp;_nkw=e%20m%20washington%20print&amp;LH_Complete=1&amp;LH_Sold=1&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2045573.m1684" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_sacat=0&amp;rmvSB=true&amp;_nkw=e%20m%20washington%20print&amp;LH_Complete=1&amp;LH_Sold=1&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2045573.m1684" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_sacat=0&amp;rmvSB=true&amp;_nkw=e m washington print&amp;LH_Complete=1&amp;LH_Sold=1&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2045573.m1684</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
