<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GaleriaGila, post: 99969, member: 993&quot;]Is this the scam that I think it is??</p><p>They represent this as a real Frida painting... of course at 600 bucks it&#039;s a bargain... real ones sell for tens of thousands.</p><p>They do at least say the origin/date was 1970-something.&nbsp; Frida died in 1954.&nbsp; I suppose that&#039;s their saving grace regarding integrity.... makes it just a semi-fake?</p><p>I could turn these out by the plenties and rule the market by charging only 100.&nbsp; Kidding!</p><p>This is just one dealer... in Mexico.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen similar semi-fakes.&nbsp; They seem to put prices on them that are expensive enough to make people assume they&#039;re real but not enough to inspire the kind of research that a 50k investment would inspire.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t even say &quot;after&quot;. It says &quot;by&quot; Frida.</p><p>Do people know it isn&#039;t real?&nbsp; And still pay 600 bucks for such??</p><p>Maybe I really SHOULD do a few, if people know they&#039;re fakes and... just don&#039;t care?</p><p>I would of course clearly label it REPRODUCTION!!!!&nbsp; </p><p>Nope, not gonna do it.</p><p>I&#039;ve done repros on murals... clearly 20 times the size of the original, and not even trying to fool anybody.&nbsp;&nbsp; Carumba.</p><p>Am I completely missing something?</p><p>Thanks for listening.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Frida-Kahlo-Oil-on-Canvas-/321942555511" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Frida-Kahlo-Oil-on-Canvas-/321942555511" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Frida-Kahlo-Oil-on-Canvas-/321942555511</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
