About the Artist: Dutch artist FAKE from Amsterdam was born on May 15th 1980 and has been doing graffiti and street art half his life. FAKE is self-taught and started experimenting and combining styles early on to come to a unique signature. FAKE’s work is some of the cleanest stuff around. His clean, taut work, full of color, has been in shows all over the world; from Holland, Norway, Denmark and the UK until the US and even countries as Iran.

Jonathan Winters Screenprint on Canvas Painting Umbrellas Hollywood Star Pop Art
By Jonathan Winters
Located in Surfside, FL
Overall 21 X 27 image is 17.25 X 23.5 This is a mixed media print on canvas by beloved comedian and artist Jonathan Winters. This one depicts a surrealist bird with umbrellas Artist: Jonathan Winters Medium: Mixed media print on canvas; hand embellished Signature: Signed by the artist in gold paint pen, lower right from A/P edition of 25 signed in gold paint pen; original plates have been destroyed Condition: Excellent Jonathan Harshman Winters III (November 11, 1925 – April 11, 2013) was an American comedian, actor, author, and artist. Beginning in 1960, Winters recorded many classic comedy albums for the Verve Records label. He also had records released every decade for over 50 years, receiving 11 Grammy nominations, including eight for Best Comedy Album, during his career. From these nominations, he won the Grammy Award for Best Album for Children for his contribution to an adaptation of The Little Prince in 1975 and the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album for Crank(y) Calls in 1996. With a career spanning more than six decades, Winters also appeared in hundreds of television shows and films, including eccentric characters on The Steve Allen Show, The Garry Moore Show, The Wacky World of Jonathan Winters (1972–74), Mork & Mindy, Hee Haw, and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. He also voiced Grandpa Smurf on The Smurfs TV series from 1986 to the show's conclusion in 1989. Over twenty years later, Winters was introduced to a new generation through voicing Papa Smurf in The Smurfs (2011) and The Smurfs 2 (2013). Winters died nine days after recording his dialogue for The Smurfs 2; the film was dedicated in his memory. In 1991, Winters won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for playing Gunny Davis in the short-lived sitcom Davis Rules. 1999 saw Winters become the 2nd recipient of the prestigious Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. In 2002, he was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his performance as Q.T. Marlens on Life with Bonnie. Winters was presented with a Pioneer TV Land Award by Robin Williams in 2008. Winters also spent time painting and presenting his artwork, including Surrealist silkscreens and sketches, in many gallery shows. He authored several books. His book of short stories, titled Winters' Tales (1988), made the bestseller lists. Winters was born in Dayton, Ohio, to Alice Kilgore Rodgers, who later became a radio personality, and her husband Jonathan Harshman Winters II, an insurance agent who later became an investment broker. He was a descendant of Valentine Winters, founder of the Winters National Bank in Dayton, Ohio (now part of JPMorgan Chase). Of English and Scotch-Irish ancestry. Winters had described his father as an alcoholic who had trouble holding a job. His grandfather, a frustrated comedian, owned the Winters National Bank, which failed as the family's fortunes collapsed during the Great Depression. During his senior year at Springfield High School, Winters quit school to join the U.S. Marine Corps at age 17 and served two and a half years in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Upon his return, he attended Kenyon College. He later studied cartooning at Dayton Art Institute. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Winters acted in The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966), had a weekly CBS show called The Jonathan Winters Show from 1967 to 1969, and appeared in Viva Max! (1970).[3] Additionally, he was a regular (along with Woody Allen and Jo Anne Worley) on the Saturday morning children's television program, Hot Dog in the early 1970s. Winters received eleven Grammy nominations during his career, including eight for the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album; he won the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album for Crank(y) Calls in 1996. In 1999, he was awarded the Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, becoming the second recipient. In 2004, Comedy Central Presents: 100 Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time ranked Winters as the #18 greatest stand-up comedian. Winters lived near Santa Barbara, California, and was often seen browsing or "hamming" for the crowd at the antique and gun shows on the Ventura County fairgrounds. He often entertained the tellers and other employees whenever he visited his local bank to make a deposit or withdrawal. Additionally, he spent his time painting and attended many gallery showings, even presenting his art in one-man shows. With his round, rubber-faced mastery of impressions (including ones of John Wayne, Cary Grant, Groucho Marx, James Cagney, and others) and improvisational comedy, Winters became a staple of late-night television with a career spanning more than six decades. He named James Thurber...

BARELY LEGAL SET
By Banksy
Located in Aventura, FL
Banksy's Barely Legal is a set of six screen prints on paper named after the Barely Legal exhibition held in 2006 in a warehouse in Los Angeles. From the unsigned edition and each numbered 59/500 (there are also 17 artist's proofs). Published by Modern Multiples Fine Art Editions, Los Angeles, with Pictures on Walls and the publisher's blindstamp. Pest Control authentication certificates included. The Barely Legal Set includes the following: Grannies (22.05 x 29.92 inches) Sale Ends (22.05 x 29.92 inches) Applause (29.92 x 44.89 inches) Trolleys (22.05 x 29.92 inches) Festival (22.05 x 29.92 inches) Morons (22.05 x 29.92 inches) About the Artist: Banksy (British, born 1974) is a contemporary street artist and activist who, despite his international fame, has maintained an anonymous identity. Aimed as a form of cultural criticism, the artist often targets established social and political agendas with his witty illustrations produced with stencils and spray paint in cities such as New Orleans, New York, and Paris. “The art world is the biggest joke,” he said. “It’s a rest home of the over privileged, the pretentious, and the weak.” Although details of the artist’s life are largely unknown, it is thought that Banksy was born in Bristol, United Kingdom, c. 1974, starting his career as a graffiti artist in the city. Better Out Than In, Banksy’s month-long residency in New York during October 2013, featured a man hawking the artist’s paintings for $60 a piece outside Central Park. In 2015, Banksy opened Dismaland Bemusement Park, a temporary art exhibition that functioned as a theme park. After a 36-day run, its workers and materials were sent to the Calais migrant camp in France to build additional housing. Among the artist's most famous stunts include his shredded painting: When a painting by Banksy was sold at auction for $1.4 million in 2018, a mechanism was triggered to cause the artwork to partially destroy itself, resulting in a new piece titled Love in the Bin (2018).

Questions About FAKE Art
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    Yes, tanzanite can be faked. Some stones that might be substituted for tanzanite include cubic zirconia, synthetic spinels and yttrium aluminum garnets. Replicas may also feature colored glass. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can help you determine the authenticity of a stone. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of tanzanite jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, fake jewelry can have markings. Jewelry produced out of materials other than precious metals and real gemstones may still have a brand hallmark stamped somewhere on it, as many fashion jewelry makers add their logos to their pieces. Fake jewelry that is a replica of authentic fine jewelry may also bear a maker's mark to make the reproduction more convincing. However, these fraudulent hallmarks often aren't identical to the genuine markings, and noticing this difference can help you spot fakes being passed off as genuine pieces. Explore a large collection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To tell if a piece is a fake Lalique, check the markings. Pieces made before 1945 have very small marks. Often, counterfeiters make the marks too large on replicas based on early designs. Keep in mind that some reproductions are very convincing. Having a licensed appraiser evaluate the piece is the best way to determine authenticity. Shop a range of expertly vetted Lalique on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Limoges is a type of decorated porcelain. Authentic Limoges items will have the phrase “Peint Main” or “Peint a la main” hand-painted on the bottom, which means it was painted by hand. You can also look for the Limoges France insignia. Shop a collection of vetted Limoges china from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    To spot a fake Goyard bag, examine the print closely. On authentic pieces, you'll see a crisp, well-defined print with easy-to-read letters and clear markings. Replicas rarely are able to perfectly emulate Goyard's signature motif. Shop a range of Goyard handbags from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.

    No, Versus Versace is not fake. It was a diffusion brand of Versace founded in 1989. Versus Versace was closed in 2005 but the brand was brought back by Donatella Versace four years later.

    To tell if your Patek Philippe is fake, look closely at the dial. Any flaw on the dial is evidence of fakery. Are the numbers in the right font? Are the hands the right style and length? Experts recommend that you examine a watch you're considering using a loupe and compare it with the same model in a reference book or auction catalogue.

    Created in-house and by hand, real Patek Philippe cases will feel substantial. There will be nothing slight or irregular about them.

    For more info, visit the official 1stDibs guide to spotting a fake Patek Philippe watch.

  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 30, 2023
    To tell if Dior heels are fake, check the sole of the shoe. If the Dior logo appears, an authentic Dior shoe will feature the logo in a serif font, and the ends of each letter of the logo will resolve in very fine ticks. Is there a star on the sole? The star is a signature icon of the brand that can be found on many Dior pumps. One of the points of the star should be pointing directly upward versus the askew direction that you might typically associate with a star’s points. On replicas, the points are often askew. In addition, the star should feature a miniature hole in its center. Counterfeits may be characterized by a mere depression rather than an actual hole that you can see through. It may be worth consulting a professional to best determine the authenticity of your footwear. Shop a variety of Dior heels on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    Yes, there are fake Patek Philippe watches. One way to identify an authentic timepiece produced by the Swiss watchmaker is to examine the back of its case. Patek Philippe doesn't put reference or serial numbers on the case backs, but many fakes will display them. On a real Patek Philippe timepiece, you'll see either a Geneva seal or the Patek Philippe logo, which is a double P. You will usually also find markings that identify the type of material it is made from. If you're unsure of the authenticity of a particular piece, seek input from a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of Patek Philippe watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Yes, there are fake Audemars Piguet watches. While not as common as replicas of Rolex, Patek Philippe and Omega watches, convincing reproductions of Audemars Piguet timepieces exist. You can help assure your purchase is authentic by acquiring your timepiece from an authorized dealer or a trusted online platform. Shop a selection of Audemars Piguet watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    Yes, you can try to tell when diamond earrings are fake through various tests. One of the simplest and safest for jewelry is the breath test, where you breathe on the earrings and watch to see how quickly the fog clears. The condensation will usually disappear more quickly from a genuine diamond. Because it can be difficult to determine a real diamond from a synthetic one through sight and basic at-home tests, most experts recommend consulting a jeweler, an experienced dealer or an appraiser. Shop a variety of diamond earrings on 1stDibs.

    To spot a fake Versace suit, first check the manufacturing tag to make sure it says “Made in Italy.” Every genuine Versace garment is made in Italy. Take careful note of the suit’s craftsmanship. Every aspect of a Versace suit should be excellent, from the stitching to the texture of the fabric (your Versace suit should feel like a luxurious and well-made suit). If anything seems off, then it’s likely a fake. Price is also an obvious tell. The price of an authentic Versace suit will reflect the label’s commitment to superb craftsmanship and impeccable design. For contemporary apparel, Versace developed an online authentication system. For more information and next steps, consult the brand’s official website (you will likely need a smartphone). On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Versace suits from some of the world’s top boutiques.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Fake Versace jewelry typically uses inexpensive materials and may exhibit inconsistent lines, sloppy work, or discoloration. To authenticate Versace jewelry, take it to an experienced and reputable jewelry appraiser. To avoid buying fake Versace jewelry, purchase it from the brand directly or through a trusted third-party site. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of authentic jewelry from top sellers worldwide.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Since Balenciaga bags are one of the most-copied, they’re difficult to authenticate, so it’s best to take the bag to an appraiser. A tell-tale sign a bag is fake is mismatched style numbers on the front and back tags — these should match if the bag is real. Additionally, an authentic bag will feature the Lampo logo with sleek, not thick, lines. On 1stDibs, shop expertly authenticated Balenciaga handbags from top sellers around the world.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To spot fake Versace shoes, look for the 12-digit CLG code on the tag, and enter it on the Certilogo website. If your shoes don’t have a CLG code, inspect the shoe for craftsmanship, quality materials, and anatomically correct logo. Find authentic Versace pieces from trusted sellers on 1stDibs.

    Fake Chanel bags aren’t easy to spot — especially if you’re shopping online. Forgeries are getting increasingly difficult to identify, but there are a few clues that might indicate a Chanel bag is a counterfeit. Bags made in the mid-1980s and later have a serial number at the bottom of the bag, and this number should match the one on the Chanel authenticity card. The Cs in the clasp should have flat, not rounded, edges, and the right-hand C will always overlap the one on the left at the top, with the overlapping reversed at the bottom. The screw on the clasp will have a flat or star head — never a Phillips head. The zipper should have the Lampo logo on the back of the slider, and the bag should come in a duster bag with the Chanel logo printed in white in the center. The diamond-pattern quilting on the bag should be flawless and perfectly aligned, even where there’s a pocket. The lining should lie tight and flat against the interior — never creased or lumpy. The inside of the bag should have the Chanel logo followed by “Made in Italy” or “Made in France.” To ensure you’re purchasing an authentic Chanel bag, buy from a reputable seller that carefully vets their offerings. Shop a collection of properly vetted vintage and new Chanel bags from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.

    How to tell if Chloé shoes are fake depends on the type of shoe. In general, check that all of the tags and stamps show the brand name correctly with the accent on the final letter "E." Fakes often miss this detail. Also, examine all of the stitching, looking for irregularities. Genuine Chloé shoes have precise, even stitches. On 1stDibs, find a variety of expertly vetted Chloé shoes.

    There are two excellent ways to spot a fake BVLGARI bracelet. All BVLGARI jewelry has a hallmark with the brand’s name and ‘Made in Italy’. Also, BVLGARI uses the Latin alphabet, which replaces the ‘u’ with a ‘v’, a common thing overlooked on fakes. Greek silversmith Sotirios Voulgaris set up his shop in Rome, Italy, in 1884, calling it Bulgari, an Italianization of his last name (eventually spelled BVLGARI, using the classical Latin alphabet in a nod to ancient Roman culture).You can shop expertly vetted BVLGARI designs from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
