    Hi ChrizHan

    Take some deep breaths and calm down. You cannot be unaware of all the Claerhout forgeries which abound throughout SA, including on Bid or Buy, and when people are upset or angry it is better that jokes are made so people can laugh instead of gnashing their teeth.

    Old Father Claerhout must be turning in his grave at all the variations of his signature on paintings which people declare are authentically his!

    Out of sheer curiosity ChrisHan, why do you list these as Discrete?

    And, as LillyThePink said, surely you are not oblivious to the fact that 1,000s of forgeries are floating about. As a reputable seller, are you not also annoyed that these forgeries are causing people to question your authenticated works?

    No-one on the forum is mocking Father Claerhout
    ; the people selling the, still wet, forgeries are.

    Why do today what you can put off till next year?

    Actually I have not seen where Father Claerhout is joked about as mentioned there is alot of forged copies. In fact non was attacked here as far as I am concerned you ChrizHan came and threw his toys out of the cot! For what ever reason you may have I do not know. With getting so angry I have heard the saying in Afrikaans waar daar 'n rokie trek is daar 'n vuur?

    Maybe you enjoyed too much red/white wine. Discreet is for a purpose and some buyers want to be respected and prefer it.

    Bit early in the day for red or white wine.

    I understand there is a purpose for discrete listings. I don't understand listing the majority of Father Claerhout's works as discrete, and then a more valuable Nicky Van Rensburg as non-discrete.

    Dear ChrizHan.

    I'm sorry you are so on the defensive and I can't help but wonder why?

    It is the people who are selling forged Claerhout pictures (I do not call forgeries "artworks") who are denigrating and defaming poor old Father Claerhout! THEY are the ones we are mad at and make jokes about - not the dear old Father!

    The wet paintings and copycat sketches supposedly done by him from the grave are making everyone suspicious and cross. Sorry, but that is the truth of the matter.

    The discreet option is there for every seller to use and listings are monitored.

    Thread is locked as it is way off topic.

    Thank you.
