"MY NAME IS RANDY POTTER AND I AM A RETIRED AUCTIONEER. I HAVE SOLD PROBABLY AROUND 1500 OF NORVALS PAINTINGS AND HAVE NEVER HAD EVEN ONE RETURNED TO ME FOR A REFUND. 100% HAPPY CUSTOMERS." 

Randy Potter (1959-2018)
Port Hope, Ontario





All of Norval Morrisseau paintings acquired from Mr. Potter's auction (Randy Potter Estate Auctions) that were analyzed for artist's signatures were forensically authenticated by three top internationally recognized Forensic Document Examiners and Handwriting Experts from Ottawa, Toronto and Calgary (click HERE).

NOTE: Mr. Donald Robinson of Kinsman Robinson Galleries successfully purchased 28 lots of paintings in the amount of $53,238.73 including GST during the time frame between late 1999 and early 2000 from Randy Potter Estate Auction (click HERE for the receipts from Mr. Potter's auction, then Kahn Auctions, showing the Norval Morrisseau paintings sold to Mr. Donald Robinson). Mr. Robinson labeled these paintings as fakes but he has never asked for money back from Mr. Randy Potter.
