PLEASE NOTE:
If you wish to sell any of Herbert's work purchased from Barrister's Gallery, or elsewhere, please contact us and I will help you find a buyer. Because I have been Singleton's dealer and friend for over 15 years, I am most familiar with his carving and painting techniques and can provide you with a document certifying the authenticity of your piece. It came to my attention eight years ago that, unhappily, while I was in the complicated process of moving thousands of pieces of inventory from Royal Street in the Quarter to what is now my former location on O. C. Haley Blvd, in 1999-2000, unscrupulous, pernicious dealers acquired pieces which were unfinished and subsequently augmented and painted by others--an enterprise, apparently that began even earlier—I have already tracked down six of these forgeries. It has also become apparent that another New Orleans carver has tried to emulate Herbert's style and subject matter and already passed on some of his own work as Herbert's. Put your mind at ease, or go get your money back. E-mail jpegs to Aantippas@aol.com. Or call 504 525 2767 or 504 710 4506 |
