Guy Ribes
French forger who produced thousands of convincing fakes attributed to Chagall, Picasso, Renoir, Matisse, and others, many of which still circulate with false certificates. After serving prison time he went straight, later painting the on-screen artworks for the film 'Renoir'.
David Stein
French forger who dashed off convincing Chagalls, Picassos, and Mirós at extraordinary speed in 1960s New York. He was caught when a real Chagall he had faked was spotted by the artist himself; after prison he sold work under his own name.
Tony Tetro
American forger who produced highly convincing works attributed to Dalí, Chagall, Miró, and Rembrandt. Convicted in California in the 1990s, he later drew headlines when fakes he made surfaced in a British royal residence.
