Art counterfeiters use the media to blind the eye

Along with the continuing “high fever” in the art market in China, some lawbreakers have eyeed the media and publications. Many of the paintings and fakes began to appear in the categories of appreciation and collection of certain regular albums, periodicals, newspapers, and television stations. These “licious ghosts” of the national calligraphy and painting market used the “new barriers” to fool many collectors.

According to the author's experience, the “new imposing methods” of the “Li Gui” people in the painting and calligraphy market are as follows:

1. Some individual auction houses that do not pay attention to integrity and partnerships with counterfeiters defrauded buyers to introduce fraudulent products on auction catalogues and auction news. They also pointed out that “This book was published in the “So-So Album"."

2. A famous collector once told the author that there was an overseas dealer who took pictures of Fu Baoshi and peddled it to him and presented a picture book saying that the painting was a published original. His asking price is lower than the market price, which means that collectors have more things, so they sell cheaper. However, the collector carefully identified and asked the experts to find it was a fake product. According to reports, there is a growing tendency for counterfeit garments to wear "regular publications".

3. A television station's appreciation column will be seen by a discerning person as if it were a fake painting of a certain master, and the result was so full of urban storms.

Due to the fact that the market for fake paintings and calligraphy is too treacherous, in recent years, the collectors of books and paintings have been relatively safe and trustworthy and valued for publishing famous works of calligraphy and painting. However, perpetrators of counterfeiting and counterfeiting have also raised the idea of ​​formal publications. They use the form of publications to meticulously “pack” the painting and calligraphy products. The main forms are:

1. Through regular publishers to buy books and publish books and paintings of so-called masterpieces. In the collection of paintings and calligraphy, various stories were written to verify the authenticity of the sources of these paintings, and then experts were asked to write review articles and photographs of famous artists, and then the fakes appeared on “Grand”. Some publications are full of fakes, and it is easier for people to find flaws. Some fakes and counterfeits are fakes in their original works, which is very deceptive.

2. Some manufacturers of counterfeiters simply do not even look for a publisher, and save a book number. They found a small printing house, and made up a name for the publishing house, a book number, etc., and the printed book appeared to be very “regular”. Outsiders generally did not think that there was fraud to verify.

3. Even more, some art journals, such as Hong Kong and Taiwan, which have had an influence but have now ceased publication, have been "revitalized" to clear their way.

In addition to publishing albums, periodicals, etc., counterfeiters are also eyeing newspapers and televisions that have more extensive influence. Through these works of art appreciation and collection in the mass media, they introduced their fakes. And our newspaper editors and television producers may not necessarily be experts in this area, and they are often left in the dark without knowing what they have done. As a result, fakers and counterfeiters are popular.

Relevant experts remind collectors that the “Li Gui” painting is debuting with “a new face”. As long as it pays more attention and compares it with the publications of real famous artists, it is easy to see flaws in the “Li Gui” publication of calligraphy and painting. . The “ligus”’s “publications” are often very famous. Most of the choreography, articles, and so on are lacking in empathy, lack of cultural atmosphere, and lack of professionalism. In addition, in order to save money, it is generally printed thin, sold out and then printed in batches. However, it does not rule out publications that have been carefully printed. Those publications that were published before the rise of the domestic market for painting and calligraphy, as well as the authoritative albums published by reputable professional publishers, are trustworthy.
