A cautionary note to all Hornak collectors. This artwork being offered by Donny Malone Auctions in New York is not an authentic artwork by Ian Hornak. While the underlying silkscreen titled, Angel Concert, is in fact authentic, the overpainting and signature are not by Hornak, thus rendering this a fraudulent work.
