Yesterday the Italian police announced the successful completion of the removal of 500 counterfeit paintings worth about 7 million euros. Among the fake products of modernist and contemporary artists found counterfeits of Henri Matisse, René Magritte, Enrico Prampolini, Alberto Burri, Lucio Fontana, Giorgio de Chirico, Renato Guttuso, Mario Siron, Past Rotella, Giuseppe Kapogrossi, Franco Gentilini and Humberto Bochchioni.
Criminals selling paintings through internet sites to unsuspecting collectors, confident that they are profitable to invest. Fake pictures are all over Italy in the homes of private collectors. Among the confiscated items were found in at least one original - stolen painting XIX century hand Teofilo patina. Total case involving 12 people. It is remarkable that with falsificators still struggling. Auctions flooded wave of imitations. They should be planted so as not to povadno was. |
