Claerhout paintings

[MagicMan0027]

I'm sure this has been asked before. I see a lot of Claerhout paintings on auction nowadays. How do I know that I'm getting the real deal and not a fake ? Thank you

Read all the threads under "Art" on the forum. You'll get the picture! (Pardon the pun!)

Hi MagicMan

There are a couple of posters there that may be able to give you some pointers.

Not necessarily. Just make sure that it is a GENUINE Claerhout!
