Thumbnail Sketches and Their Value
Thumbnails like anything else has a purpose. In the art world that purpose closely resembles the purpose of an outline in the world of literature. Both are used as a guide or experimentation to manipulate your work to see which pieces are most effective and how the location of the pieces affect your work overall. Thumbnails give you an idea how shapes combined with the space or plane around them give different effects and as you play around with them it can lead to other ideas or concepts to help enhance what you design. These advantages and lessons makes thumbnail sketches a crucial step in the developing stages of any art work.
Art Scam in NY
In the link above I read about Glafira Rosales (an Art Dealer from long island) , and her boyfriend Jose Carlos which helped in selling 60 fraudulent art pieces. The couple marketed the fraudulent art pieces by having them appear to be legitimate pieces from artist such as Robert Motherwell, Willem De Kooning, and Jackson Pollock. She sold paintings in Manhattan. One of the most notable places was Knoedler & Company who is now out of business. What I find amazing about this article is that Glafira Rosales and Jose Carlos had a Chinese immigrant forge all those paintings in his studio (inside a garage) in Queens. Ms. Glafira claims she was intimidated and abused by her boyfriend Jose Carlos. Afraid of losing her daughter, she went along with the scam and claims her boyfriend is the genius who came up with the scam. Glafira Rosales served three months in jail, and three years of supervised release along with a to be determined amount of restitution to be paid. While Jose Carlos was arrested in Spain in 2014 his extradition was haulted.
My opinion I don’t like or understand why she didn’t got to the police if those where the conditions in her situation, but I’m not her, she made her choices and here we are now. I thought it was funny how the artist who forged all those art pieces fled back to china and in his defense claims he had no clue that the couple were using his paintings in that manner. Also it amazes me that this scam went on for a span of 15 years that is too long and very scary. This makes me think twice before I buy a painting.
