Description
Sex, drugs, and Caravaggio The story of one of the best art forgers Tony Tetro is one of the most famous painters forgers in history. His testimony will unsettle you so much that from now on you will question every masterpiece in a museum, gallery, or private collection. In this extraordinary biography, he reveals the behind-the-scenes of the art market, which is more corrupt than you might imagine. The pressure from collectors and the greed of dealers clearly know no bounds. Tony presents it all against the backdrop of his colorful life, where his fascination with art intertwines with a passion for fast cars, beautiful women, and prominent society. Together with Giampiero Ambrosi, one of the investigative journalists who uncovered the forgery scandal in 2019, Tetro now allows us to glimpse into the world of art in his amazing and at times almost unbelievable testimony. If you think that a forger merely copies famous works, you are quite far from the truth. From the English original Con/Artist (Hachette, New York 2023) translated by Adriena Richter.
