There are numerous art forgers the experts love them make money out of them. The work of the masters never dries up / I wonder why they keep on appearing and the experts say they are genuine because they make a fortune out of them and do not question anything enough. Greed is always the winner.
I am fine art restorer MA.Excellent copiest ( so i was told and proved).All life living modestly but never was tempted to attempt any forgery.Never signed or faked stretchers etc.This man is talented artist but greedy without morale .Fortunately for him he was sourrended by ignorants including art experts working in famus galeries..Now with carbon data and use of other media fakes can be eliminated but so called experts and dealers are not up to date to science and technoligy.
It doesn't take a genius to make a poor copy. Seriously--representational figurative art is much easier than it seems to a non painter. Tony Turdtro here rips off other people's designs and paints them in such a way as to appear as though someone used an airbrush to fill in a Bouguereau coloring book. He has no modern conception of paint handling, his line work seems incidental, and overall the guy has absolutely ZERO creativity. He might as well be head developer of the CBS drama department. He is crapping on art so that people who make absolutely graceless and detached projector copies can all pat themselves on the back and rake it in from the rubes. In reality, even at first glance any spiritualist can see the difference (spiritualist being a category which includes everyone with the proper spirit and eye; everyone from ancient cave painters, to arabesque tile niche designers, to George Inness, etc.). Capitalist painters only wish to copy outmoded styles, which is truly not as difficult as it seems to someone with little-to-no painting experience--especially if they, like Tony T here, rip off poorly painted pieces from people like Warhol and Basquiat who are famous names and abhorrent gimmick painters (must be his perfect starting point), not that his classical rip offs are of any value. My suggestion, if you want to look at art, is maybe give your eyes a break from this hack style of painting which puts the "plastic" into plastic art, and look at something truly elegant and beautiful like a John White Alexander painting, or something guttural and real like a Soutine. People need to stop basing their concept of art upon what the entertainment industry tells them.
Yikes...he dosent look like the playboy I knew back in the day. Between bar hopping and snorting coke in his condo... where did he get the time to paint?🤣

Gary Edwins Gary You are missing the point which is if you fake a painting by a living artist then that artist can say I never painted that as is what happened with another famous forger David Stein having sold three paintings to a dealer who then showed then to the living artist. You are talking about the present I take it. My comment related to the past and to how Tony was court.
Signing the artists name on the painting is wrong on all levels. If an artist were to reproduce the artwork, he or she should make it their own meaning change the colors or change it to make it their own.
Kate Wild ...most forgers do it for revenge, studies show. All that effort copying somebody else when you could be building a name for yourself, instead...
The name is Titian. Might be a good idea to watch documentaries about great artists instead of great forgers so you would have some idea who they were copying.
Now here is a man with integrity - masterfully copying paintings for others who then they become the criminal if selling as an original. Tony should get into is own line of paintings due to his talents as they will would also become the most prized in the future. It would appear his watches didn't take off as I cannot find any ... ?

I had no Art Training Either...My Dad was so proud of me, he was an Famous Artictect in NY, my grandmother worked for the Govener in NYC his name was Hamilton Fish, lots of stories to tell you..I also learned from Books, I did a great Marilyn too gave it to Eddie Van Halen...in July 2019 through the mail on the box.............Love to You Janie
People who paint Marilyn for any reason other than to poke fun at the cult status of the dumbest forms of celebrity are CLOWNS. And copying from Andy Warhol is possibly the least creative thing I have ever heard of. But at least you gave it to an appropriately talentless and flashy guitar player. Fitting. And by the way, it's spelled governor.
If you cant do either thing, Don't moke it! To insult someones craft is your poking fun of yourself, cause you would Like to do this but you don't have a clue how to..Its an art..Art is a Talent...Talents are not to be moked or made fun of...But to insult shows you aren't Talented at all..The Talented never ever Insulted anyone either..so I assume you can't do either..Play the Guitar, or Paint!

@@janekovaly7952 It's funny you say that because I spend literally all of my time as a professional artist, mostly painting, and occasionally sculpting and playing guitar, piano, and drums.

John O'brien it's not a crime if you don't pass it off as an original, that's why he said he still does it but signs HIS name on the back now. It wasn't a crime to copy the paintings but it was when he copied the provenance paperwork to pass it off as an original
What in hell is wrong with people, you like Something whether its 'real' or 'fake', its a painting for christs sake !!! get OVER it , hang it on your wall and of you have so much money that all you can do is buy stuff to impress then you are going to be screwed, its called LIFE !! talent is talent and money is paper ,,, and paper burns and fire is catching president snow !!

Enjoyed Tony’s book Con Artist.
Tony is a fascinating and talented guy.
Great story.
The greatest Living art forger has yet to be caught.. that's just a high statistical probability statement.
Van Meegeren & Beltracchi were better.
What about Hebborn
There are other foragers out there that are just as good if not better and of course Is always subjective .
5 years later, and we all hope you set up the guests mic properly before you go to air. Just saying - that was pretty unprofessional.
The dj himself is unpro. Chastising his righthand-man on air like that.... Rude af
5% Annually to insure a painting, you gotta be kidding me. That's effin ridonkulous.
Something about the forger I see is that their knowledge of art and history is most exceptional.
There are numerous art forgers the experts love them make money out of them. The work of the masters never dries up / I wonder why they keep on appearing and the experts say they are genuine because they make a fortune out of them and do not question anything enough. Greed is always the winner.

Wonder if they can do carbon dating on paintings to determine age proximity?
They can do stuff with the paint that will help them date it, yes.
Perhaps on the canvas, but carbon dating really only works on matter that was only living.
@@---cr8nw Oh yeah, duh :) That being said: you'd be surprised what kind of detritus can be found/ left inside a painting/ art piece...
Amazing, with todays technology, (with tiny lapel mics, almost invisible) they still use those big silly cock shape microphones. What's that about?
Why forge a painting by a living artist when there are so many dead ones to forge ?
Tony Tetro is just a genius when it comes to reproducing works of art. Does it really make a difference whether or not the artist he is reproducing is dead or alive ?
