The greatest art forger of modern time

Mr. Eric I. Spoutz! Is that you offering this peace of crap?
Artfakes says, “YES!” We believe it is.


Watch the end-sale
NOT Picasso

We feel pretty sure that he is guy judging from the choice of words he’s using and from other central characteristics. In that case he lives in The Fisher Building, 3011 West Grand Blvd. Detroit Michigan 48202, the U.S.A. For several months now he keeps on coming boasting about with his many paintings, the world’s largest collection of art he told us, but instead he has shown up to be the biggest crook and art swindler of today’s art history. Now he is back on stage doing his nasty business after weeks of keeping a low profile, probably hoping to be forget and forgotten by artfakes – but no Sir! artfakes never sleep, we are here, right on the line to keep an eye upon you, and we shall keep doing so as long as it takes to bring you to justice.

 

In fact Mr. Spoutz does not appear under the name of Imm-sla-auction (unless on Polish) any longer, but from his new store di-laurenti-auctions, (note the likeness between the two, not exactly an expression of great artistic imagination, we’d say!) both with addresses in Florida.

 

Five paintings this time has he offered for sale, paintings signed Picasso (most used artist for his crimes), Chagall, Magritte and Kandinsky. He’s’ got a nerve has he! All artists with provenience to known persons and with certificates from known art historians, all of them, no doubt about it have ever seen any of those paintings. They are sold as attributed, whereby Mr. Spoutz thinks he’s hedged his beds to be referred to as a simple art swindler. But within a mile he hasn’t, for one simple reason: Signed pictures cannot be attributed. See for yourself. The paintings are either genuine or they are false. So much to that.

 

Mr. Spoutz’s certificates are, as are his paintings, all together false. No wonder why they always refers to dead people who cannot speak for themselves, it’s easy – it’s the work of a worm on two feet.

 

On the 16.th of September 2005 four persons were arrested in Copenhagen for selling a Rembrandt painting, stolen from The National Museum in Stockholm in the year 2000. In this case more people have been sentenced to long prison terms. Some months ago a Dane got 2½ years in prison for having stolen paintings and sculptures by known artists.

 

The latest art forger convicted in Denmark also got 2½ years imprisonment. This he received for selling falsifications by Picasso, Chagall and Modigliani and other famous celebrities. The best-known art swindler the world has ever known about was Han van Meegeren, he also stood up to his crimes while another of the great art swindlers Elmyr de Hory took his own life before he was brought to court. You can read about those people here.

 

At eBay.com however everything can pass by, unnoticed and without anybody interfering? The greatest Internet art swindlers can romp about with whatever they like without neither eBay nor any authorities care to take any offence. eBay has presently bought Skype for an amount of 3-4 thousands of millions of dollars. Where does that kind of money come from? In fact part of it is earned by eBay: “We’re lily-white”, they claim.

But no! You’re not! You make a packet thinking to keep you hands snowy only by offering technical equipment to all confidence tricksters so that they can sell their fakes. This indeed is American way of life, a moral far from European standard, far from European tradition.
