There is a steady flow on the market of paintings and drawings that are either attributed to Robert Lenkiewicz, or are sold as copies or "in the style of". Some are honest works of art that are sold second-hand as being by Robert. Many have labels on the back giving a provenance of the last Estate sale. All are potentially harmful to the name of Robert Lenkiewicz.
To show the range of such works, I have added a "Rogue's Gallery" to LBP, in the "Image Gallery", under "Miscellaneous". The 51 pieces added are works that I regard as not being produced by Robert. I may, of course, be wrong and I would be grateful for comments.
Contrary to the case with genuine pieces on LBP, sales data are included for the works in the Rogue's Gallery. Those data will be appreciated by potential buyers of Lenkiewicz works, but may not be equally welcomed by sellers of questionable works. The data are included for precisely those two reasons.
The copyright for these works lie with the artists that produced them. Any such artist is welcome to contact me if he/she wants me to remove images of his/her works. The artist will need to produce proof that he/she has produced the work/s in question, which is most welcome because knowledge of the identity of the people who produce these pieces would be useful.
Well-informed Lenkiewicz afficionados will note the absence of several well-known purported forgeries. Many pieces not included by me may well be forgeries, but if the evidence is inconclusive they have not been added to the gallery. I welcome suggestions for works that YOU think should be in the Rogue's Gallery, so they can be discussed by members of this forum.
