The Fake Art of Deception: A Lesson from the London Auction House The art world has long been plagued by forgery, but a recent case involving Andrew Crowley highlights the ease with which deception can be accomplished.
Crowley attempted to sell fake ancient statues to Sotheby's, using 21st century printing methods to create fake invoices that were supposed to date back to 1976.
The Cycladic figures and Anatolian stargazer statuette in question are valued at £340,000.
