eBay ad falsely stated by a seller in Swanton, Vermont stated:
“THIS DRAWING IS FROM THE LATE 50’S EARLY 60’S”
NON ACCURATE.
FACT: Antonio Diego Voci (1920-1985) did not sign his works “Diego” until the last half of the 1960’s when Canadian art dealer Joy Gibson – Naffouj began representing the artist. It was through the encouragement of Joy and her husband Dr. Jawdat Naffouj that the Diego signature took hold. Before that all the art works were signed some form of VOCI. (See 1965 ad in Zurich newspaper https://diegovociproject.wordpress.com/2014/11/28/attention-look-for-voci-not-diego/
During the time Naffouj was selling works signed “Diego” Galerie Dahms in Wiesbaden continued to sell works to the upscale German market signed some form of “Voci”.
NOTE: We can find no evidence that the Diego Voci Project Team was the source of this misinformation.
