1,104 NON-DISCLOSED POSTHUMOUS FORGERIES WITH COUNTERFEIT SIGNATURES IN A BOGUS EDITION

The above titled Sawfish, falsely attributed to a dead Theodor Geisel [d 1991], is 1 of 1,104 non-disclosed posthumous [2014] chromist-made forgeries with a counterfeit "Dr. Seuss" signatures in a bogus edition. [A chromist is someone who copies with their hands, fingers and fingerprints the work of another. In this case, a dead Theodor Geisel.]

On page 660 of the Seventh Edition of Black's Law Dictionary, -forgery- is defined as: "The act of fraudulently making a false document or altering a real one to be used as if genuine."[FN 1] 

The dead don't sculpt, much less sign and number.

On page 670 of the Seventh Edition of Black’s Law Dictionary, -fraud- is defined as: “a knowing misrepresentation of the truth or concealment of a material fact to induce another to act to his or her detriment.”[FN 2] 

The so-called "Art of Dr. Seuss" is a posthumous fraud by The Chase Group, Audrey Geisel and their authorized galleries to defraud the public. They use terms for original works of visual art, created by hand by the artist, such as lithographs, serigraphs and sculpture, signature and limited edition to misrepresent the sale of their tens of thousands of non-disclosed posthumous chromist-made forgeries with counterfeit "Dr. Seuss" signatures in bogus editions. 

The following briefly documents these facts.


[Back Detail]
"Each sculpture bears the authorized engraved signature 'Dr. Seuss' This engraved signature was reproduced from Theodor Seuss Geisel;s original signature and has been authenticated by Audrey Geisel, widow of Theodor Seuss Geisel." [Excerpt from a "Certificate of Authenticity" and © 2013 Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P]

1,104 POSTHUMOUSLY APPLIED COUNTERFEIT SIGNATURES

The non-disclosed counterfeit "engraved signature  Dr. Seuss"  posthumously applied on the back of the titled Sawfish by someone other than the dead Theodor Geisel, in no way whatsoever discloses how it came to on this object. There is no disclosure listed with it or a posthumous date beside this so-called "Dr. Seuss" signature disclosing that it was applied after the death of Theodor Geisel [d 1991]. This creates a massively deceptive market where the public and future patrons might believe and act on the belief that the presence of what appears to be a "Dr. Seuss" signature means he created it, much less signed it. Theodor Geisel died in 1991. In 2013 when these 1,104 non-disclosed posthumous forgeries were copyrighted by Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P., Theodor Geisel was 22 years dead. 

On page 1386 of the Seventh Edition of Black's Law Dictionary definition of -signature-: "a person's name or mark written by that person or at the person's direction."[FN 3] 

The dead don't sign.

Yet, on the Chase Group's website, The Chase Group [exclusive publisher for Dr. Seuss Artworks] states: "The Art of Dr. Seuss project were created after his lifetime, each limited edition lithograph and serigraph bears an Authorized Printed Signature and each sculpture an Authorized Engraved Signature."[FN 4]

1,104 IN BOGUS POSTHUMOUSLY NUMBERED EDITION

Theodor Geisel died in 1991. In 2013 when these 1,104 non-disclosed posthumous forgeries were copyrighted by Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P., Theodor Geisel was 22 years dead.

Under U.S. Copyright Law: § 101. Definitions, "A -work of visual art- is — (1) a painting, drawing, print or sculpture, existing in a single copy, in a limited edition of 200 copies or fewer that are signed and consecutively numbered by the author, or, in the case of a sculpture, in multiple cast, carved, or fabricated sculptures of 200 or fewer that are consecutively numbered by the author and bear the signature or other identifying mark of the author."[FN 5] 

The dead don't consecutively number.

Yet, on the Chase Group's website, The Chase Group [exclusive publisher for Dr. Seuss Artworks] asks and answers the following question: "Are all works in the collection created in limited editions?" The answer given was: "Yes, these works are in extremely small editions."[FN 6]


"Sawfish -This is a hand-painted cast resin reproduction adapted and colorized from an original sculpture by Theodor Seuss Geisel ("Dr. Seuss") and produced after his death in a limited edition. - each sculpture was individually hand-numbered." [Excerpt from a "Certificate of Authenticity" and © 2013 Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P]

FALSE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY FOR NON-DISCLOSED FORGERIES

Non-disclosed posthumous forgeries with counterfeit "Dr. Seuss" signatures in bogus editions, like the above titled Sawfish, have no authenticity even when Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P. promotes that mythology in a published "Certificate of Authenticity." 

On page 127 of the Seventh Edition of Black's Law Dictionary, -authentication- is defined as: "Broadly, the act of proving that something (as a document) is true or genuine, esp. so that it may be admitted as evidence."[FN 7] 

Promoting reproductions, much less forgeries as the Art of Dr. Seuss is not evidence of authenticity.

Under U.S. Copyright Law 101. Definitions, a derivative work is defined as: “a work based upon one or more preexisting works, such as art reproduction.”[FN 8] Additionally, under U.S. Copyright 106A, it states the “Rights of Attribution - shall not apply to any reproduction.”[FN 9] 

Therefore, under U.S. Copyright Law, derivatives of Theodor Geisel's sculptures are reproductions which cannot be -attributed- to a living Theodor Geisel, much less a dead one.

Now, notice how the above description states "hand-painted cast resin reproduction" then deceptively refers them as "each sculpture."   Posthumous reproductions done by the hands, fingers and fingerprints of chromists of Theodor Geisel's sculpture versus lifetime sculptures created by the hands, fingers and fingerprints of Theodor Geisel are not interchangeable, much less the same.

Then to add insult to injury, despite the Dr. Seuss Enterprise, L.P. promotion in their COA that this "sculpture" [sic] titled Sawfish is in a "total size edition of 1,104," in the small print states they "reserve the right to reproduce this sculpture in future edition of different sizes and/or mediums."

So, when it comes to limitation, much less authenticity, the following confirms the Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P. has none.


PHOTO SOURCE: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DR-SEUSS-THEODOR-GEISEL-SAWFISH-SCULPTURE-/282237646284?hash=item41b6acb5cc:g:QXgAAOSwHnFV1l1w
FALSE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY FOR NON-DISCLOSED FORGERIES

The above is an early example of the so-called "Certificate of Authenticity" The Chase Group's used in the beginning for their titled Sawfish. Aside, non-disclosed posthumous chromist-made forgeries with counterfeit "Dr. Seuss" signatures in bogus editions have no authenticity, The Chase Group's published COAs have been deceptively changed over time. This is confirmed by making the following comparison of excerpts from the two prior documented "Certificates of Authenticity" with two different edition numbers for The Chase Group's Sawfish.

[Excerpt]
"Sawfish - This is a limited edition, hand-painted cast resin sculpture taken from Theodor Seuss Geisel's original sculpture entitled Sawfish (1934). - each sculpture was individually hand-numbered." [Excerpt from a "Certificate of Authenticity" and © 2013 Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P]
PHOTO SOURCE: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DR-SEUSS-THEODOR-GEISEL-SAWFISH-SCULPTURE-/282237646284?hash=item41b6acb5cc:g:QXgAAOSwHnFV1l1w
FALSE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY FOR NON-DISCLOSED FORGERIES

In The Chase Group's earlier COA for their Sawfish, edition number 436/850, it stated: "850 sculptures numbered," "99 Patron's Collection sculptures," and "155 Collaborator's Proofs" totally 1,104 and that "the statements contained herein are true and correct."


[EXCERPT]
"Sawfish - This is a hand-painted cast resin reproduction adapted and colorized from an original sculpture by Theodor Seuss Geisel ("Dr. Seuss") and produced after his death in a limited edition. - each sculpture was individually hand-numbered." [Excerpt from a "Certificate of Authenticity" and © 2013 Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P]
PHOTO SOURCE: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-SOLD-OUT-Dr-Seuss-UNORTHODOX-TAXIDERMY-Numbered-COA-620-of-850-SAWFISH-/172360880374?hash=item28218250f6:g:O-MAAOSwPCVX8GGg
FALSE CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY FOR NON-DISCLOSED FORGERIES

In The Chase Group's later COA for this same Sawfish, edition number 620/850, it stated: "850 sculptures numbered," "99 Patron's Collection sculptures," and "155 Collaborator's Proofs" totally 1,104.

But now in The Chase Group's later COA for this same Sawfish, edition number 620/850, it states: "Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P. reserves all rights to the sculpture's copyrights and/or trademarks and the publisher and Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P. reserve the right to reproduce this sculpture in future editions of different sizes and/or mediums. Once again, The Chase Group's COA states: "This is to certify that all the information and the statements contained herein are true and correct."

Rhetorically, if The Chase Group is willing to abuse the rule of law and the laws of nature to promote posthumously applied names as "Dr. Seuss" signatures, posthumous chromist-made reproductions as an original work of visual art i.e., sculpture and falsely attributed them to a dead Theodor Geisel a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, why would The Chase Group be constrained in practice, much less in their current or prior COAs, to adhere to a false limitation in bogus editions?




"One of the primary goals of The Art of Dr. Seuss project is to educate the public with information detailing the history of this celebrated collection. From the project’s inception in 1997, we have educated thousands of people including collectors, galleries, museums, curators, and the media with precise information designed to edify Dr. Seuss enthusiasts and sophisticated art collectors alike.  Following each collection below is a link for A Guide to the New York Print and Photograph Law www.collegeart.org/guidelines/photolaw.html. This is the foundation for this collection of artworks and is considered the gold standard in the art industry."

NON-DISCLOSED POSTHUMOUS FORGERIES ARE NOT ARTWORKS

The Chase Group and its' director William Dreyer operate out of the State of Illinois at 305 Era Drive in Northbrook, Illinois. 

State of Illinois’s Chapter 815 statute requires, if sold for $60 or more, the following: "Describing the print as a "reproduction" eliminates the need to furnish further informational details unless such edition was allegedly published in a signed, numbered, or limited edition, or any combination thereof, in which case all of the informational details are required to be furnished.”[FN 10]  

Additionally, the State of Illinois' Chapter 815 states: "Proof that no person has been misled or deceived or other wise damaged by any violation of this Act shall not constitute a defense in any prosecution under this Act.”[FN 11] 

In other words, The Chase Group, based in Illinois, is under Illinois law. Under Illinois law these so-called "artworks" would be required to be disclosed as "reproductions."

The dead don't create artworks.

On page 137 of the Seventh Edition of Black's Law Dictionary, -bait and switch- is defined as: "Most states prohibit the bait and switch when the original product is  not actually available as advertised."[FN 12] 

The Chase Group, on their website, bait & switch non-disclosed posthumous forgeries with counterfeit "Dr. Seuss" signatures in bogus editions with the title "Art of Dr. Seuss" and as: 
  • "a.) Hand-Pulled Lithography
    b.) Hand-Pulled Serigraphy
    c.)  Pigment Print
    d.) Mixed-Media Pigment Print
    e.) Cast Resin Sculptures
    f.) The Bronze Tribute Collection"[FN 13]  

U.S. Customs May 2006 An Informed Compliance Publication titled Works of Art, Collector`s Pieces Antiques, and Other Cultural Property, states: "The expression original engravings, prints and lithographs means impressions produced directly, in black and white or in color, of one or of several plates wholly executed by hand by the artist, irrespective of the process or of the material employed by him, but  excluding any mechanical  or  photomechanical  process."[FN 14]   

Theodor Geisel died in 1991. In the coming decades after 1997 when the tens of thousands so-called "Hand-Pulled Lithography, Hand-Pulled Serigraphy, Pigment Print, Mixed-Media Pigment Print, Cast Resin Sculptures and The Bronze Tribute Collection" were copyrighted by Dr. Seuss Enterprises L.P., Theodor Geisel [d 1991] was dead. 

The dead don't wholly executed anything.

Yet, on the Chase Group's website, The Chase Group [exclusive publisher for Dr. Seuss Artworks] asks and answers the following question: “Were any Dr. Seuss serigraphs, lithographs or sculpture published during his lifetime?” and the answer given: “No.”[FN 15]  

The Chase Group's Alice in Wonderland approach seems to be: why let the truth interfere with commerce, much less education?


In the September 1998 Art World News trade magazine, the attorney Paul Winick (partner in the New York office of Thelen, Marrin, Johnson and Bridges), who specializes in intellectual property law, litigation and represents galleries, publishers and artists, wrote the article "Certificates of Authenticity: Dealer Liability."

In his article he explains the application of the Uniform Commercial Code as it applies to the “sales of most forms of visual art.” The author wrote: “UCC express warranty arises from two sources: The description of the goods given by the seller, and the seller statements made to induce the sale.” Those statements are said to become part of the “basis of the bargain” made between buyer and seller and, therefore, a basis for legal action if the description or statements turn out later to have been false.”[FN 16] 

The author also wrote: “Warranties need not depend on the sale document and can arise in statements made in advertisements or catalogues, so long as the buyer relied on those statements in formulating the bargain with the seller.” and that “Warranties are applicable regardless of fault or intent. It is no defense that the seller did not mean to make a misstatement, or that he thought the misstatement to be true. If the goods (the artwork) do not conform to the promise made (the warranty), the seller is liable, whether or not he knew it to be true.”[FN 17] 

When it comes to disclaimers, Paul Winick wrote: “Disclaimers are not viewed favorably by courts and, unless there is some way to reconcile the disclaimer and the representation, the disclaimer is disregarded and the representation is given effect.”[FN 18] 


On page 816-817 of Kluwer Law International’s published 1998 Law, Ethics and the Visual Arts, Third Edition by John Henry Merryman and Albert E. Elsen wrote about “Counterfeit Art.”

Under the subtitle “Truth,” the authors wrote: “The most serious harm that good counterfeits do is to confuse and misdirect the search for valid learning. The counterfeit objects falsifies history and misdirects inquiry.”[FN 19]

Additionally, under the subtitle “Resource Allocation,” the authors wrote: “Museum and art historical resources are always limited. What gets acquired, displayed, conserved and studied is the result of a continuous process of triage, in which some objects can be favoured only at the expenses of others. Counterfeit objects distort the process.”[FN 20]

Furthermore, under the subtitle “Fraud,” the authors wrote: “There remains the most obvious harm of all: counterfeit cultural objects are instruments of fraud. Most are created in order to deceive and defraud, but even “innocent” counterfeits can, and often will, be so used. The same considerations of justice and social order that make deliberate fraud of others kinds criminal apply equally to fraud through the medium of counterfeit art...”[FN 21]
