Certain artists have methods to authenticate their work. In general, I wouldn't trust ebay. Fakes abound, coins, art, any high value collectables. Consider this interesting story from earlier this year: https://nypost.com/2024/02/21/us-news/brian-walshe-sentenced-in-separate-case-involving-sale-of-fake-andy-warhol-paintings/ https://nypost.com/2024/02/21/us-news/brian-walshe-sentenced...
If you want original art, especially from an artist as popular as Warhol, it's best to go through galleries or art auctions. You don't have to be in NY or LA, Paris or London, etc. You probably have some places in driving distance. Most ship, too. These places have actual reputations on the line and can't hide behind ebay or just open up shop with a different name.
- PaulHoule 2y agoI've made some CMYK (e.g. inkjet) prints that were inspired by Warhol and anime fan art. I took a class in silkscreen printing and I'm probably going to be taking one in block printing soon. If I was going to get better at silkscreening an obvious idea is to do something more or less Warhol-inspired. My understanding is that there is an interesting universe of fakes, for instance Warhol would make some screens and send them off to get printed, he would authorize, say, 100 prints and sign and number those, but the printers would hold on to the screens and make more that weren't signed.
