Ward Churchill’s Phoney Art
BREAKING EXCLUSIVE UPDATE: See this post for yet another work of Churchill’s art exposed!
The Ward Churchill saga continues. Not only is he not an Indian, he’s also has done some “original” artwork that is surprisingly similar to other works found elsewhere.
Michelle Malkin has the expose this morning. Check it out!
Others who are on the story include: Doug Petch, Narcissistic Views, and not many others … yet … If you’re posting about this, trackback here and I’ll add your link later in the day.
The original story is here, and has these side by side pix.
This, from the 1972 book The Mystic Warriors of the Plains.
And from Ward Churchill.
Also, there is another that has been allegedly uncovered which is for sale on eBay. See Michelle’s site for the details.
UPDATE: I found this to be a bit ironic. From the guy that owns the “Winter Attack” original by Ward Churchill:
“Sure, it makes me angry, it makes me very disappointed,” Prentup said. “I wanted some original artwork from what appeared to be a very good local artist. Now I don’t know what I’ve got.”
But then there’s this:
Current bid: US $255.00 (Reserve not met)
Tekput has great feedback reviews and ratings, but something about the two pieces of information together in my mind raise some question I can’t quite put my finger on. Guy finds fraudulent work of art, is disappointed, goes to the newspaper, and then immediately lists it on eBay for hundreds of dollars. I’m just raising the question. Is it possible this “fraudulent art” thing is just a well crafted entrepreneurial hoax?
UPDATE 2: Kiliman has pointed out in the comments that there are 250 of these pieces floating around, so it’s pretty likely that my question above - wondering if Tekput was Prentup - was probably makeing a false assumption.
UPDATE 3 (3/7): Hmmm……

It’s not clear that Tekput is the same as Duke Prentup (althought if you jumble the letters, it might be his alias). However, the description in the eBay item states:
But in the CBS4 Denver piece, Prentup says he bought one of the 150 copies from Churchill directly. Also, you can see that he has it hanging in his house. Not sure if he considers his home “a prominent art collection.”
Anyway, seeing as there are 150 copies floating around, it is conceivable that this is not same person. However, I agree that if it is, he should at least state on his eBay item description that the serigraph itself is controversial, not just the “artist”.

EtherHouse *EXCLUSIVE*! — More Ward Churchill art!
Oh, Churchill is no plagiarist! The keen eye; the fine brushstrokes; the skilled application of chiaroscuro and manipulation of positive and negative space; the use of color to both shock and beguile the eye — all hallmarks of a master craftsman.

More Ward Churchill Artwork discovered
EtherPundit at Ether House has discovered some heretofore unknown works of art by Famous American Indian Ward Churchill: Regular readers may be surprised, but I think it’s time some of us on the right stepped up to defend Ward Churchill….

I would call churchill a joke, but jokes are funny and he is only a sad copy.

This guy is an “ethnic transvestite”. Probably the only Indian
in his family.
