i look at artwork every day of my life often dubai and people need my advice of what their piece is and if it's original or not today i want to talk about how do you tell an original piece of artwork and i'm specifically going to kind of hone in on paintings because what i see all the time are pieces that are reproductions or prints or flat out fakes and frauds so some of the little highlights that you need to know if you're looking to purchase a piece of artwork or if you have a piece of artwork if it's original is one if it's supposedly old and has a date on it let's say it says 1923 well it should look like it's old you should turn over the back of the painting and look the back of the painting quite frankly is going to tell you as much as the front of the painting if the canvas is very white and the little sticks that you'll see in the corners that are the little spacers or the bars that you see around the edge of the painting those are very white and have not oxidized it's not old it's a new piece and it's probably a gclay giclee is a copy of an original oil painting a piece of artwork they can be very nice they can have value but they're a copy of photographic copy put on canvas and the idea is to make it look like the original and quite frankly from a photograph when i get them on the internet sometimes you can't tell because it can be a charlie russell and it looks like a charlie russell because hey guess what it is but it's a copy it's a g clay so when you look at the piece in person you should be able to see individual brush strokes and thickness and texture to the paint the chiclets will often have the brush strokes but you'll see kind of a sheen on the top that really just doesn't look right and then if you turn it around on the back you'll see staples where the canvas has been stapled to the stretcher bars the stretcher bars which are the foundation bars will be white canvas will be white there's no oxidation charlie russell was painting at the turn of the century you've got that time frame things are going to happen also the frame will tell you something if you look at a frame and it is got chips again the wood is oxidized and you may see different holes where it's been used in the past look at these things if they look old and feel old and maybe even smell old if they've been in a smoker's home for 20 30 years you'll smell the nicotine use your senses and if that little voice says something's wrong guess what it is so you can't just go by history because...
