Beware of Marc Rosenbaum
By Alberto Chailosky
I am sure you did not know they were stolen at the time of purchase. Mr. Rosenbaum can be quite
slick and deceiving. I need to know if you own one of these pieces. I have NO intention of prosecuting
you , or asking for my work back.
Australians are hitting back
Standards Australian is seeking industry agreement for a new national code of conduct and on-line
register for the art industry to stamp out art forgeries, which cost art buyers millions of dollars. Art
fraud has reached epidemic proportions around the world with thousands of people falling victim every
year.
John
Drewe, 50,
Accused of amassing large amounts of money by selling fakes of modern masters on the art market as
newly rediscovered works.
It is also alleged that he corrupted valuable art archives - including those at the Tate Gallery and the
Victoria and Albert Museum - by forging histories for the works, thereby damaging "British heritage"
and potentially ruining the reputations of the artists involved.
Well-Traveled Renoir
In 1985, an art dealer in Missouri purchased a Renoir painting entitled La Loge (also called Au
Theatre) for $191,000. He later learned the painting was a fake and was copied from an existing Renoir
located in Paris.
Fradulent
Credit Cards used to Purchase Artwork
So we called the issuing bank and, sure enough they
were all stolen numbers from Americans.
