Subject:Real or Fake
Posted By: Stephan Wed, Apr 01, 2015 IP: 50.161.194.41

I ran into a picture of the wave online, and for cataloguing, I cannot tell if it is a genuine edition of the Wave, or a later edition, or even a fake ?

It's a tough call. I compared it to originals at the Boston MFA. It looks pretty close but I don't think it is an original. This print (and series) has been copied more than 1000 times so odds favor that result.

Cheers,
Stan

Hi Stan,

True that !

In that series, the first 36 prints were originally made with a blue outline, and a few years later they were made again with a black outline. ( And more colors )

Although I was able to find a lot of them referenced as the black outline, I was not able to find 1 copy of the wave print referenced with the black outline. I wonder why ?

PS : The picture of this print has a black outline. I wonder if it could be that black outline not referenced anywhere ?
