THE ARTWORK REPRESENTED BY THIS EBAY AUCTION WAS FORMERLY OWNED BY CELEBRITY, QUENTIN CRISP:
Quentin Crisp (December 25, 1908 – November 21, 1999), was a writer, artist's model, actor and raconteur known for his memorable and insightful witticisms who became a gay icon in the 1970s after the publication of his memoir The Naked Civil Servant brought to the attention of the general public his defiant exhibitionism and longstanding refusal to conceal his homosexuality. Singer, Sting, wrote the song "Englishman in New York" as a musical hommage to Crisp. [Credit: Wikipedia]

THE ARTWORK REPRESENTED BY THIS EBAY AUCTION WAS FORMERLY OWNED BY CELEBRITY, SUSAN SONTAG:
Sontag, Susan,(Born: January 16, 1933; Died: December 28, 2004), American writer and critic, b. New York City. She grew up in Arizona and California and studied philosophy at the Univ. of Chicago, Harvard, and Oxford. Regarded as a brilliant and original thinker and highly visible as one of the most prominent public intellectuals of the second half of the 20th cent., Sontag became known for her vividly written critical essays on avant-garde culture in the 1960s. Most of these were collected in Against Interpretation (1966), in which she popularized the word camp, referring to exaggerated reproductions of the style and emotions of pop culture. Her other works include short stories and such novels as The Benefactor (1963), Death Kit (1967), and the best-selling historical fictions The Volcano Lover (1992) and In America (2000). Her essays on radical politics are collected in Styles of Radical Will (1969). She meditated on the nature of photography in On Photography (1977), explored the ways in which disease is demonized in Illness as Metaphor (1978) and AIDS and Its Metaphors (1989), analyzed various modernist writers and filmmakers in Under the Sign of Saturn (1980), and reassessed her ideas on photography's relationship to human suffering in Regarding the Pain of Others (2003). Many of her short nonfiction pieces from the 1980s and 90s were collected in Where the Stress Falls (2001). Sontag also wrote and directed motion pictures, including Duet for Cannibals (1969) and Promised Lands (1974), directed theatrical productions, and was the author of a play, Alice in Bed (1992).

artfakes.dk:
One out of three new false Picasso-signed pictures with equally false certificates which the seller as often before wants us to believe comes from dead art experts, who would never in a lifetime dream of lending their names to the fraud that he persistently draws attention to.
The proveniences to well-known individuals are as much sham as are the pictures. The question arises once more: Why is it that eBay does absolutely nothing to prevent this fraud from happening? How come that no authorities like the F.B.I for instance seem to care? When do those people give the alarm? When will they stop this swindler from performing his shady task, the very person who bears the veil of the chameleon, who now calls himself di-laurenti-auctions, and who no doubt is identical with the big-time crook Eric I. Spoutz, the very same individual who for many month now is playing his mean tricks on innocent, honest buyers?

Here we are witnessing the seller deluding potential buyers by laying his words on thick: “This work is hand signed”, he claims, “not a print of any kind” (note the stress mend to confuse people!)
Of course it is hand signed you dummy! You signed it yourself by your illegible scrawl. No question! But to make people believe that Marc Chagall has anything to do with this piece of child minded sketching most likely done by you, is a despicable act of crime.

The seller:
J.L. JENSEN ATTRIBUTION (1800-1856) O/C STILL LIFE. Wonderful piece attributed to the Danish artist Johan Laurentz Jensen. Still life depicts fruit, petit fours and an aperitif and is signed J.L. Jensen
artfakes.dk:
It’s a daub all right probably from a photo with the dauber hiding himself behind a false signature.
You’re abusing I. L. Jensen’s good name Sir! He painted in a quite different, artistic style.

The seller:
We guarantee this is a drawing.
artfakes.dk:
It is obvious that the seller wants people to believe that George Grosz painted this picture. In a tortuous way he gives the impression that in fact this famous artist has something to do with it. This makes you even worse than a common crook Sir! Over here we call you a confidence trickster.
