This is the week of forgeries and frauds. The Guardian reported today that and individual by the name of Jonathan Rayfern was jailed today for 16 months after selling forgeries of works by the artist Tracey Emin, for approximately $41,500 (£26,000). Rayfern made at least 11 fakes after working alongside Emin at her gallery in London in order to study her methods. He sold the forgeries to two unsuspecting buyers on eBay.
