ABOUT FAKES:   we highly recommend the following read...

Celebrated artists have always attracted artists to expertise their skills and also, con-artists making fakes.  

If you want to pay less and buy from a less reputable source (EBay, a small auction, a house auction) you most likely are buying a fake. A fake has no value and you be unable to re-sell it. The provenance is a paramount.

We advice to be vigilant and satisfy yourself with the artwork accuracy via visual examination and completeness through inspections, surveys, inquiries and searches. Seek your own knowledge, talk to consultants and representatives, financial and legal advice and keep your own independent thinking do not rely solely on the information provided.

Fakes may be sold - internet, EBay, fake-art-collectors, fake Estate-House-liquidation auctions (also selling reproduction antiques, collectibles fake art (knowingly or not, as they have no professional expert to recognize it).
 
About fake house-estate Auctions - unscrupulous 'sellers' lease a large house advertising a "Liquidation / Estate auction" selling reproduction and fake art.
 
Buying art from a private person or a fake art collector?
If a "seller" is say that his papers were lost in (fire, flood, moving houses etc) and/or he ought his art at an Estate Auction or a gallery which does not exist then probably is a fake art.
 

Be vigilant a fake artwork may include a certificate from an unscrupulous gallery dealer.
