That's fraud and not innocent. They are putting it up for sale with a huge price tag claiming it was done by Jodi. I hope they get nailed for it. If they would do that I doubt 80% would end up going to the church. jmo
With all due respect Lamb Chop and I am an art dealer here myself *I would not personally sell any of her work or any work invovled with a crime, especially at the time of the trial*
If you look at the listing it says Travis Alexander by Jodi Arias in the title, nowhere else does it claim to be a 100% authentic JA painting. Titles in paintings are not an accurate statement of fact, they are whatever the artist chooses to call them.
The title is misleading, yes. But technically it is not fraud. In the listings at the bottom it does not claim to be by her.
Look, I don't agree with this painting, I think it is in incredibly poor taste, but I can't claim to know the motivation behind the person listing when I don't know them, I suggested a possible reason. Moo suggested another, which was a really good point.
But I don't think it is fraud, I really don't. Misleading probably deliberately.
As far as the cost goes, yes I think they have set it to current interest standards, but IMO I am sometimes amazed at the unrealistic expectations people have in regard to the asking prices of their work!
