Something shocking that has come to light in recent months is the astonishing number of well executed 'fake' Damien Hirst prints, being passed off as the real thing, appearing on the secondary market.
This is obviously extremely worrying for collectors who were paying full price for these works thinking they were buying a genuine piece, and can cause loss of funds as well as loss in faith in purchasing art on the secondary market.
As the publisher of some of the works that are being 'faked', Eyestorm is the only retailer who can authenticate these works, and every week we have a concerned client asking for our advice and help.
The main platform for selling these 'questionable' prints was ebay, and so our first piece of advice to potential collectors is to avoid buying art on the secondary market through this world famous trading website.
Eyestorm Trade provides clients interested in buying previously published Eyestorm works with 100% confidence. Every piece of work we sell is authenticated as being a bona fide Eyestorm-published print and will come with a certificate of authenticity.
Selling Art: what to do if you have something to sell
There is no safer way of selling your art on the secondary market
than through the original publishers of the work. Selling through
a trusted source will ensure you can sell your art stress free
without suspicious buyers questioning the authenticity of the
work.
