Re: [MOPO] Copy or forgery?

It is doubtful the Academy asked this artist to: 1) Paint his exact repro on old poster paper or 2) Artificially age the paper to look like old paper and then 3) Linen-back it exactly as a real poster would have been, or to glue it onto a genuine old poster which had had the image sanded off t

Re: [MOPO] the role of restoration in forgeries

Anne, Thanks for bringing this up. It's an important issue but one which has a lot of tricky aspects... For one thing, if collectors start doing less restoration and backing that means hard times for the wizards and hard working honest people at the restoration and backing studios who provid

Re: [MOPO] Copy or forgery?

jim, 1. Agree 2. Agree 3. Agree if it was an acrylic rendition, on board, this is vastly different than running of a high res print, attaching it to old card stock and aging it to look like a 75 yr old poster. jeff On Sep 2, 2009, at 10:19 PM, James Richard wrote: It is doubtful

Re: [MOPO] the role of restoration in forgeries

I believe that anyone who linenbacks a Mint or Near Mint poster is committing a serious crime and should be held up in front of a firing squad and shot!! Just kidding of course!! It is a shame though, since if that poster is 50, 60 or 70 years old, in such a wonderful condition, and I've s

[MOPO] restoration, recreation, mutilation etc

it would seem to me, following many of these depressing threads, that someone in possession of a valuable Universal 1sheet would be wise to cut it in half, 'restore' each half and sell both copies of the poster. are we at that point where the hobby is now comparable with those ebay listings wher

Re: [MOPO] copy or forgery

Just to clarify. The reproduction of the Cavalcade o/s in the Academy's collection is a photograph sized 41x27. It is not a painting or recreation but was produced in the late 1980s from an original that was in an institutional collection. The whereabouts of the original o/s from which our repro

thanks anne. i think many were assuming it was a photograph of an original one sheet. others assumed someone created a painting of some kind, which would have been more costly and prone to minor errors (color, shading, etc). thanks for the clarification. best. jeff On Sep 3, 2009, at

Re: [MOPO] Inquired into a filmfootage item for sale

So, lemme get this straight... David has had 4 of his perfectly legitimate poster listings immediately *yanked* by Ebay because some crazy old actress thinks she owns the rights to her name on a poster, even though she knows she signed those rights away over 50 years ago to the movie studio...
