| Summary, etc. | FAKE! is an incredible and often hilarious tale of three rogues -- a Jewish aristocrat, an American con man, and a beautiful Canadian boy -- who in the last century swindled oil tycoons, movie stars, top art galleries and great museums, and almost caused the collapse of the international art world.<br/><br/>It is considered the best book ever written about fake art and was the inspiration for filmmaker Orson Welles' last major movie, "F For Fake," now a cult classic.<br/><br/>Where? - London, Paris, New York, Texas, Tokyo, and the decadent, sunny Mediterranean island of Ibiza, the disco capital of Europe.<br/><br/>Who? -- Elmyr de Hory: an elegant Hungarian whom World War II had stripped of everything but his genius at imitating Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani, Renoir, and other great painters of the 20th century.<br/><br/>Fernand Legros: a ruthless Egyptian-born American who decreed that museums, art galleries and millionaire collectors should finance his love of luxury and pretty boys. |
