NicoV Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Bad luck, there was some nice art for sale in a French auction today! If you had 1.5M€ you could have bought an Asterix cover http://comicarttracker.com/en/art-richelieu-auctions/2017-10-13 (auction results are not available yet but the two covers respectively sold for 1.15M€ and 950k€ + 25% BP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comic Art Factory Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Just be aware there are a lot of fakes on the market for the following european artists : Rob Vel, Franquin, JeanGiraud/Moebius, and of course Uderzo (asterix sketches especially). I would really advise to avoid all that, as some sold on auctions were fakes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*matterus023* Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Thanks for heads up. But if I want to own any at some point I will have to decide what I believe is fake and what I think is legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*matterus023* Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 I am sure I will be told it is a fake but I went for it regardless :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic Art Factory Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The thing is, it's not because someone believes it's legit, that it makes it legit. On this drawing the ear, the cheek, and he eyes are quite awful. And I don't understand how anyone can go for a drawing without knowing if it's a fake or not...Really. The last few months there has been an incredible amount of fakes on ebay US, many of hem coming from East Europe from the same seller over and over again, who does really bad forgeries every week. Fake Peyo, Morris, Uderzo, Moebius. All major european artists and these went cheap as they were awful forgeries. . There are also a lot of fake art on ebay France or Italy. You should really consider the market before spending any dollar. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
