The pictures are not taken in DaFen, they are taken in a Hutong in Beijing. This is one of the famous market for selling antique, calligraphy and Chinese paintings before. Now, some of the some stores and hawkers started selling contemporary artists' counterfeits. The painter or the owner of the stall shown in above picture even sign his own name on all counterfeit paintings. He told me no picture on his stall when he saw I was taking picutre on his signature. That is ridiculous that he introduces "his paintings" to the lady showing interest to buy them! The art becomes completely meaningless commodities here! Poor the painter and the art!
