Provenance: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art Paperback - 2010
by Laney Salisbury; Aly Sujo
Investigative reporters Salisbury and Sujo present a tautly paced investigation of one of the 20th century's most audacious art frauds, which generated hundreds of forgeries--many of them still hanging in prominent museums and private collections today.
Summary
The true story of one of the twentieth century's most audacious art frauds
Filled with extraordinary characters and told at breakneck speed, Provenance reads like a well-plotted thriller. But this is most certainly not fiction. It is the astonishing narrative of one of the most far-reaching and elaborate cons in the history of art forgery. Stretching from London to Paris to New York, investigative reporters Laney Salisbury and Aly Sujo recount the tale of infamous con man and unforgettable villain John Drewe and his accomplice, the affable artist John Myatt. Together they exploited the archives of British art institutions to irrevocably legitimize the hundreds of pieces they forged, many of which are still considered genuine and hang in prominent museums and private collections today.
