FRANS Martin CLAERHOUT (SA 1919 - 2006)
Art Book Frans Claerhout Book-107 Blomme Sonder Grond by Frans Claerhout
ISBN 0-620-31068-5. Printed by: DREYER Printers.
We believe that this book give you a good example of typical Frans Claerhout fine art creation. There is a typical composition with continuous straight line technique until such time as the idea he had in mind was duly represented in his unique expression style. In the finished article he hardly ever repeated his paint, or charcoal strokes over the same spot. These sources give you a much clearer idea as to the appearances of the paintings of F.Claerhout.
On some of the pages a small dirty marks from fingers.
Pages: 19
Format: Hardcover
ISBN: 0-620-31068-5
On the first page is the drawing done by F.Clarhout himself with pen and signed. The drawing and signature are done by artist himself after the book was printed. For this reason the book is more valuable.

We have a question for certification of fine art
This our response
We only give invoices for any item sold by us on the Bidorbuy auction. We do not issue any certificate; similar to other established Fine Auction Houses in South Africa. In future, if you want to sell paintings through an established Fine Art Auction House, they would have their own specialists who establish the authenticity of the art and dont consider certificates from unknown and unqualified sources. We have seen number of paintings with different certification which we simply refuse to accept for sale. The reason being that they dont meet our view of F.Claerhouts fine art, in our opinion. We believe that, to avoid making wrong choice in purchasing F.Claerhout art works, it is necessary to have at least the art work one of the books of F.Claerhout, or even more than one, or visit a library. These sources give you a much clearer idea as to the appearances of the paintings of F.Claerhout. You thus have to decide yourself. You definitely shouldnt believe that any certificate guarantees you the validity of everything it purports to - but that is your choice. We believe that proper certification of fine art is essential, and that it will validate the product over and above any other product and requires a totally different approach. The person responsible has to be highly qualified, with a minimum academic education and proof of any qualification(s). He should be recognized by the art world market, have lot of experience in this field (including in-depth knowledge of particular artists and their techniques, knowledge of the art of analysis and methods as well as their originality). He should also should be recognized by the leading Auction Houses on the market. The assessment of fine art is a time-consuming and expensive process, without even mentioning the fee of such an expert. For this reason, only the big Auction Houses can afford this practice and only when the painting is expensive thus worthwhile.
