TUNE IN EVERY MONDAY FOR A NEW EPISODE

“The Art of Art Forgery”
He has been called the greatest living art forger in the world. Arrested as an art forger in 1989, Newport Beach resident Tony Tetro became in 1991 the only living American artist slapped with a court order mandating he clearly sign his name to the back of every work he creates, so they can’t be passed off as originals and sold for outrageous sums of money to unwary art collectors. With a new book about his life recently published, and a documentary in the works, Tetro discusses his… life as an art forger and the artworks he created.
