Family Art Cons Fool Major Museums


A very talented forger who created fake masterpieces in his home and then sold them to museums and art collectors, including the British Museum, the Tate Modern, and Christie’s, with the help of his elderly parents, was sentenced to four years and eight months last night. His mother, Olive Greenhalgh, 83, was given a 12-month suspended sentence and his wheelchair-bound father, George, 84 – is still to be sentenced for his involvement. Via The Manchester Evening News.
