The intentions of the auction houses may not have been to deceive but auction houses are supposed to be experts on the items that they auction. They share some of the responsibility for allowing these fakes to be sold as originals in their auctions at preposterous prices, no less! And let's not forget the auction houses took commissions based upon percentages of these inflated sales. It's the ultimate responsibility of the auction houses to make good on these sales and to vigorously persue legal means to recover money from the perpetrators of these frauds. FRANC

They are not the enemy.
