Fake 'n' Art Directors


This "artwork" by me was included in some International Art Exhibition. It should have been returned after exhibition.
But the same artwork piece is now claimed to be included into the private collection of the Art Director of the same International Art Exhibition.

I'm sorry: I neither sold my piece (nor gave it as a present) to the Art Director of that International Art Exhibition.
I don't suggest that the Art Director is a thief! I simply affirm that my claimed piece is a fake, and my signature on it is forged.

'M sorry for Christies, of course.

ONLINE Charity X-Mas sales for Faculty of Weaving

I L. G. , in full possession of my faculty of weaving, I have hand-woven these scarves with a thread so thin that, in every scarf, there are 2 kilometers and 160 meters of yarn... all passed through my my hands. I was deligthed like a spider :-)

"No weaver would dare to warp with a thread like this! It's just good for the weft" I was told by Mr. Pucci, who is the father of that yarn. In fact, that's a brushed mohair: is a very hairy yarn, which is intriguing and is caught in the game of heddles. :-(

But I've tried. Sometimes it happened that a thread broke. No matter, even better: while I fixed, I seized the opportunity to leave a trace with a thread of different colors, I so tattooed the body of the cloth. This is the secret of the mysterious tracks that cover the work: they are the scars of my surgery. Quite tribal! Is it n't? :-)

Each shawl measuring 50 x 200 cm, weighs only gr. 240 and of course, is a unique piece, I beg only € 60.00 + € 4.15 registered shipping
