The fraud in the art world goes on 24/7.

Jack Nicholson is a big timer in La La Land, but even he can be duped.

Tod Michael Volpe, a well-known Manhattan art dealer, built a reputation in the 90s advising Hollywood celebrities on how to build their art collections. Nicholson provided $610,000 to the investment fund, which would buy and sell artwork and split the profits. In 1998, Volpe received a 28-month prison for defrauding his clients of more than $1.9 million.

Any art student can recognize several art genres and techniques that took accomplished artists years to develop.

Picasso didn’t start with Cubism.........he went through several periods Before he developed his Cubism technique.

Many might question how neophyte Hunter developed the control to execute works in so many different genres in such a short time.
