The artist is ROUSSEAU.. The registry # is 16106-100...The title I believe is " La Peinture Naive Francaise". The actual lithograph is 16" x 21". The picture has what almost looks to be the three musketeers, with a lady wearing a red dress sitting on the grass. There are white buildings with red roofs and a very old looking flying plane ( like what the wright brothers would have flown). Below the picture are big red letters saying... LA PEINTURE NAIVE FRANCAISE DU DOUANIER ROUSSEAU A NOS JOURS.... Then below that in smaller black letters....MAISON DE LA PENSEE FRANCAISE 2 RUE DE L' ELYSEE-VIII 16 JUIN - 9 OCTOBRE 1960...Then below that the word...MOURLOT... All in all the whole thing is 21" x 27" with a heavy silver toned metal frame. If anyone can translate or knows anything about this picture feel free to respond PLEASE...

I have a number of prints that I acquired at auction with both the Robert Sills Gallery as well as the Collier Art Gallery. (Both which are defunct) Recently I attempted to sell a limited edition Alexander Calder serigraph and the sale was stopped when the Calder Foundation of America filed a copyright violation complaint. I have been in conversation via phone and email with the Foundation staff and while we have not resolved the issue to my satisfaction (no documentation of copyright violation has been provided yet. There is a very likely chance that some of the Robert Sills Gallery art may have been, as in my case, unauthorized editions of his work. I have been trying to contact the Salvador Dali' Foundation in Spain to see if they can document the art work I have of Dali'. Will post here again as the situation progresses.

I purchased a nicely framed Collier Authenticated oil painting recently at an estate sale. It is signed Mirra and titled Peaceful Haven. When I purchased it I thought it might be a production piece, but I like the subject matter. It measures 20 X 24 and is of a ship moored at a harbor (very lineal and modern in style). Does anyone have any comments? I’m finding it interesting to read all of these informative postings. I purchased a nicely framed Collier Authenticated oil painting recently at an estate sale.

I wonder if everthing they sold was a fake. They had very good feedback. Certificates are bogus I gather since the corp. doesn't exist. I wonder if I can get a refund through Visa?

I am the person who was responsible for placing Park West in Costco and Sam's Club which I am proud of. Costco and Sam's Club think highly of Park West and contrary to what has been written, Park West made the decision to withdraw while they analyze this market. Whether or not they return to this market is up to them but if they do return, the program will be welcomed by both Costco and Sam's.
