  1. gotta be honest and say that it doesnt actually look to be in the style of Porl/Pearl and neither does the signature on the reverse, the low bid offered would suggest I am not the only person who thinks so...

  4. Smix, Porl/Pearl does abstract art, so I don't doubt that this was done by him.

  5. yeah, my concerns were really centred around the signature/name on the reverse which is no way the usual P/P style, but as I say, I am open to be proved wrong..

  6. The seller's wife is a friend of Janet, and they have several paintings that Paul has given to them over the years. Highly doubt the guy would be selling fakes.
