In 2007 Shaun Greenhalgh was sentenced to 4 years and 8 months in prison for the crime of producing artistic forgeries. The case shocked the art world, because of the breadth of Shaun’s forgeries. This is his own account of his notorious career, copying Leonardo drawings, Anglo-Saxon brooches, modernist paintings – even Stone Age art. It’s a witty book from a charming rogue, who made his copies in his garden shed, and was able to fool museums and collectors all over the world. Several staff members at Boffins have read this book, and they all loved it.
