    John Myatt and John Drew - The Art World Con
    The pair pulled off the biggest art con of the 20th Century, passing off works painted by Myatt as genuine works by famous artists.
    This true crime show tells true stories detailing the exploits of some of the world’s most audacious con artists. Among the stories featured, are the man who, posing as a member of the Rothschild family, duped his lover out of hundreds of thousands of pounds, the man who pretended to be an operative from the British government’s spy unit, M15 and conned people into believing they were his agents; the bogus psychic who conned his clients with fake messages from beyond the grave and the woman who conned a series of men into giving her their hearts - and the contents of their bank accounts.

    "Dust bin liner," is the most British way ever of just saying "trash bag."

    So, this is the proof that art dealers selling signatures but not art. Rich are also buying signatures.

      I guess none of the arts have any intrinsic value- you can’t eat a poem, or shelter under a symphony.

    The experts were just as culpable as the perpetrators. it would have taken VERY little forensic work to determine they were fakes. The comment the investigator made about the colour and varnish making it difficult for experts to determine authenticity is rubbish. Material analysis would have picked up these as fakes in a heart beat. He's shilling for the dealers.
