Art Appraising and it's Lunacy

Hey Steve,
Yamet Arts. Inc is one of the most reputable art dealers in the business. I should know better than you, seeing that I am an art dealer myself and have been dealing with Yamet Arts for almost twenty years, which is only a fraction of the time they've been around.
If you really knew anything about the art world, you'd know that every so often, fakes are clandestinely introduced into circulation and are able to avoid detection by even some of the most experienced eyes. The same goes for any collection commodity: have you seen the Antiques Road Show?
Reckless comments like yours serve only to blacklist honest people, which is what Joe McCarthy did in the 1950s. Please use the internet responsibly.

If you search around on the web you will find various stories of Yamet Arts, some good, many bad. I remember Yamet from art dealing days as a source to be carefully examined (especially concerning Picasso, Chagall and Dali). They usually made good when proven wrong, but you had to prove them wrong. This thread was started in 2004, but the truth for any time is for the buyer to beware.
