Don't Fall for These "Original" Paintings! The Art Scam Nobody Talks About 🎨 #Art #Painting #Artists

Israeli Galleries, I'm warning the entire world. I know [music] relatives, I have friends. They go to Israeli Galleries, they meet the artist, they fall in love with them, they spend [music] four, five, six, 10, 20 thousand dollars. They think they're getting an original, it's not [music] an original. Today they have them called giclées. So they make an oil canvas, they like print it on a machine that it looks like an oil. It's like real paint pigment on a canvas, they stretch it, you frame it. And sometimes what the artist does is she or he will put strokes of paint on that to give [music] it a more original look. >> So basically it's a real picture and they just put a little paint on top of it. >> paint on [music and singing] it. The artist sold the original for blood guilt, big bucks. It's in somebody's house in Wisconsin or Melbourne, Australia, or Sydney, or I don't know where it is. You have something, they took a brush, they threw around some things, and they signed it, and it's not an original. What do they call it? What do you what do they call these things? >> Mixed media. [music] >> Mixed media, they give it fancy embellishments, it's not real. I mean it's real >> That's why you go to Clappier Frank, you won't have these stories. >> I'm not saying I'm not putting >> Come on, you see these guys here every week, you know? >> No, what I'm saying is be careful when you meet an Israeli artist [music] in a gallery, or an American artist, or whoever they are, you know? No pointing fingers, even if they're in the Five Towns. Make [music] sure they are selling you an original. By all means, buy a mixed media, but know that the value is not there.
