Fun and/or Interesting
If you love but can’t afford to buy the works of Picasso, Keith Haring, or Frida Kahlo, no problem. You can buy works “in the style of” for practically nothing.
“In the style of” sounds fancy, but what it really means is “made in a knock-off factory in North Carolina.” In other words, works such as these have zero investment value. But they aren’t forgeries because they aren’t replicas. They are made to look like the originals but are painted by a skilled hourly worker in a couple of days.Here, for example, are some “in the style” of offerings in a recent catalog from a Florida art auction house.
