This painting has been offered on eBay (but not sold) for being a
genuine oil-painting by the international
wellknown Cobra-painter, Asger Jorn (1914-73), but it isn't!
The picture is af fake, far away in style of Asger Jorn. It can't
even be sold attributed to Jorn.
Look
at the item on eBay
The seller informs:
Asger Jorn oil painting - COBRA - European
masterpiece!
ğI will start bidding out at $1500.00 and do reserve the right to end
early if local interest peaks. In addition, I am formally calling
this work as "attributed" to Asger Jorn since I do not
have the undisputed absolute proof of its authenticity.
I will tell you that I showed it to another art historian who did
think it a Jorn but remember Elmer de Hory, the great forger? He
even fooled Karel Appel (CoBrA) with his own painting! Anyway,
I believe it to be the real thing and I appreciate
your looking. Good luck. Please e-mail me
with any further assistance I may lend. my best, Jeremy HoweĞ.

now at $15,000
