On the last post, I told you about the couple who came into the gallery to show me some Thomas Arvid artwork which they had purchased from the back of a van. The work was counterfeit.
I told the couple to leave the work, and I would contact the artist.
When I told the story to Rob, Arvid’s VP of sales and marketing, he said ship them to him so he could examine them and start the research.
I shipped them out and within a day I heard back from Rob. They were indeed counterfeit. Next they had to track them back to the gallery that originally ordered them. That gallery on the east coast was willing to share that information as to when and to whom the pieces were sold. Things were starting to fall into place and step two was complete.
Tracking down the original owners was the next challenge. Wouldn’t you know the original owners had moved and left no forwarding address for the gallery? And after several months of searching for the original owners, the publisher had to give up the search.
Read our next blog post for the conclusion.

Did you know when you walk into a person’s home the first thing you notice is what’s on their walls. Hence, what is on your walls?

I believe in universal laws, ie., “what goes around, comes around.” It’s as solid as the sun rising in the morning. Live by it.
