Our Verdults are guaranteed to be real:
Due to the large number of FAKE Verdults that are being offered for sale by other auction houses; we are making this unprecedented offer to all bidders who purchase any Verdult masterpiece in any of our online auctions, website or galleries.

Once you have paid for your purchase, we will pay the fees and submit the art to William Verdult himself for authentication. Mr. Verdult and his family members authenticate the artist work through their website www.WilliamVerdult.com. Once certified we will ship the art along with the written certification and appraisal. If for any reason the art fails authentication, then you will be released from any obligation to finalize the purchase and your money will be refunded.

Where did we get our Verdult Collection?
Our Verdults were purchased by Joseph Miller directly from the artist as part of an effort to launder the hundreds of millions of dollars that Miller scammed from German investors. When the FBI arrested Miller in Las Vegas in 2012, they impounded his warehouse where they seized not only the Verdults, but literally thousands of original paintings, prints and bronzes by a multitude of famous artists.

A couple years later, the FBI auctioned off the complete contents of Miller’s warehouse at a government auction in Nevada. Our founder, a Greek real estate investor and savvy businessman, was in the right place at the right time and purchased the bulk of the collection and L&K Designs Art was born.

L&K owns the majority of the REAL Verdults available for sale today. Unfortunately, many other galleries and auction houses are selling fakes for ridiculous prices because they are being produced in South America. If you think that you have purchased a Verdult or know of a dealer looking to sell one, please let us know so we can help put an end to this unlawful practice.
