Book Details

Explore the dark and murky world of art forgery, where up to 50% of all art on the market may be fake. Art Fraud uncovers the intriguing stories of master forgers like Tom Keating, Mark Landis, and Eric Hebborn, alongside lesser-known figures who deceived the art world with their creations. From forgers who were talented artists themselves to those who fooled Nazi leaders or operated as a husband-and-wife team amassing millions, this book delves into the motivations behind these crimes-profit, revenge, or covering up thefts-and the meticulous investigations that exposed them.
