So, you found some great art on a street corner. Maybe it was on the sidewalk in front of your house while walking the dog. Or maybe you were at a flea market and you came across an amazing piece and had to have it. And because it was so cheap, you thought this must be something that’s just not good enough to sell in an art gallery. But now, as you look at it more closely, you start to question if this is indeed an authentic original; or even if the artist is someone famous who painted it.
Thing is, how are you supposed to know? Is there any way to tell if the piece of art is real? Or what if it’s fake?
How do you know if this is a David Choe? Let’s find out…
Are they real? How do you know?
There are a few things that should make you question the authenticity of your piece. Perhaps it’s signed with a marker that doesn’t look like the artist would have used. Perhaps it’s signed on the back, or the signature is obviously not in the style of the artist.
You can also look for inconsistencies in color. If there are obvious differences in color, such as a piece that is supposed to be watercolor painted with acrylics, then it’s likely not authentic.
What To Do With It: If you think you’ve got a fake Choe, we’re sorry to hear about your loss. However, there are some things that you can do to get your money back:
1. Take photos of both sides of each piece and email them back to us along with photos of when you received them (if possible). We will use this information to determine if the pieces are legitimate or not.
2. Scour ebay and craigslist for similar pieces and contact the sellers asking if they have any other pieces by David Choe – chances are if they’re selling it themselves they could be selling fakes as well.
3. Inform your local police department as they may
Are you interested to know if the art you have or is on your mind to buy is authentic? Are you curious about whether the artist giving you his or her autograph at an exhibition is indeed the creator of the piece?
Have you ever wondered how to tell an authentic piece from fake art? Well, as a devoted collector of original art, I have dealt with that question more than once. Most people want only to buy authentic pieces.
Another thing we can do is to find out if it’s really David Choe who drew the picture. If he is not the real creator then this raises important issues about forgery and plagiarism. It’s a shame when someone steals another artist’s work and tries to pass it off as their own.
This article will show you easy ways on how to know if the art you own or are thinking of buying is an authentic piece by David Choe, and what to do if there are any suspicions that it isn’t his.
There are certain things that give you a clue if a piece is authentic or not. In the case of David Choe, he has been known to sell both his own work and a piece of someone else’s so there is no telling right away.
I have personally seen a piece that was sold as authentic and it was fake but also had a number of clues on why it was fake. The first clue was that the art was in China and he never traveled to China to do any kind of art show. The second reason was that the piece was signed with an ink pen that wasn’t the same color as his writing. And last but not least, I called him and he told me himself that he didn’t do the piece at all.
If you are ever doubting the authenticity of a piece of art, there is a way you can find out for sure. You can take it to a David Choe who will personally inspect it.
The artist recently posted a picture of himself holding a painting he says is one of his. In the picture he is giving the thumbs up sign to indicate that it is authentic and not just another fake hanging on someone’s walls.
Thing is, he didn’t say which painting it was. He made it pretty difficult to figure out which one he was holding because there are so many pieces that look like they could be his work. But he did give us enough information for people who know about these things to determine which painting it might be.
There are only a handful of his paintings that have women in them and as far as I can tell, this one doesn’t have any women in it at all but rather just some kind of animals or monsters or something. It also has what looks like an Asian person in it and according to this website, David Choe does like to paint Asian people so I would guess that is what the painting might be for sure, although I’m not certain about that either.”
When I was in the market for a new tattoo, I did my research. I looked at a lot of portfolios, read reviews of artists and their studios, and won’t lie–I probably even stalked some artists on Instagram or Facebook. The thing is, looking for an artist is hard. It’s a huge decision, and not one to be taken lightly.
My artist had a great portfolio with a lot of detailed art. He had done a few tattoos for people close to me…but still, it was a big decision. So when he told me he was doing a show locally and that he thought it would be great if I went…I figured, why not? Usually when artists invite you to their shows they want you to buy something–so I assumed that’s what the invitation was about. But I also assumed the show would probably be lame (and boring) so I didn’t think much of it.
When I got to the show it turned out to be much more than just another art show. There were hundreds of people there–all there specifically to see works by this one particular artist…the artist who had invited me! And then he showed up! And stood right next to his work! And started talking about his pieces and sharing stories
I don’t know what to do with this, but it’s very interesting. I’ll post it here for now in case someone can make use of it.
