Message:: [QUOTE="antidiem, post: 2157198, member: 30"]Thank you, AJ, Fid, SIS, ALL whom often help me always with monetary conversions. I am unable to easily understand math number conversions. I think this is the best verification possible at this point. HAS HIS FAMILY SEEN ALL 4 BACKS OF THE TILES? [USER=15008]@Lgz[/USER] - It's not near the risk if it's $162 (in U.S. dollars), earlier, I thought it was $500 for each piece in the two different auctions, however it would still be an enormous amount to spend on artwork that may not be authentic. You make a very valid point, well taken. Thank you, Fid. [USER=7724]@Fid[/USER] , is there a museum nearby that Lgz could email to ask about the signatures? I worry that because the signature is so "different" from the rest of the colorization, that it was simply signed by a non-artist to sell it off on ebay. HAVE YOU FOUND ANY SIGNATURE ONLINE TO MATCH THIS TO?? Try ask the seller what material was used to make the signature marks. If the response is, essentially, 'the same material as the rest of the glaze-paint' - then I would think the signature to be original to the piece, and a little less likely to have been faked. Still doesn't mean the 4 pieces weren't made by some faker yesterday. I've been disappointed before when buying art that I thought was original. I never would have thought that an obscure 1950s artist's painting would have been faked, but it was.[/QUOTE]
