Fraudulent artwork – a cautionary tale
A cautionary tale: Recently we were alerted to this painting on ebay, claiming to be a signed 1965 Douglas MacDiarmid collage. Not so.
The American trader acting for the seller very responsibly took it down when told it was not a real one.
The internet is rife with fakes and forgeries…research, take advice, be careful what you buy. If in doubt, you’re welcome to contact the MacDiarmid Arts Trust for our thoughts on the authenticity of Douglas’ artwork.
