How does this David Bowie look?

Does this David Bowie look real to everyone? It’s authenticated by REAL but I did a BGS quick opinion and they said unlikely to pass authentication. Thanks for any info.

To me, it looks like an Andy Peters special. Does it have a history/provenance that predated 2016 or so? It only brought $357. Seems low looking at the sales history. YMMV. I am very cautious with Bowie since the Ford fiasco.

What’s the Ford fiasco? What happened with that? There’s no provenance that I know of.

I have several signatures from sources other than the much criticized Peters/Ford and they look very good even if they are 40-50 years old.

Hello,

Read this thread - gets interesting on page 2

andy peters/Tony Ford "Bowie"

There are dozens of threads like this. I just picked one. As far as I am concerned they are one person. Everyone who bought from Andy paid Ford. I believe "Andy" was created to provide a signature on his letters. They have never been seen in the same place at the same time or something. Anyway, everyone got a special price, everyone got something "from an RCA exec" or the like and...everyone got XXXXXX. He fooled everyone. If you follow the advice he gives on his own website (where I am still listed as "the man with the sharpest eye out there") his items are eliminated. I had a large self portrait litho, refunded (by Ford) and he did not want the litho back That says enough. Over $50,000 in fake Bowie's was refunded overall.
