Abstract
The operations of Forgery of the Month, Inc., in Chicago, are described. The company openly sells fake drawings and lithographs attributed to masters, as well as false provenances. Some of these works find their way into legitimate sales, galleries, and museums. International Foundation for Art Research (IFAR), the FBI., and local police have been notified of this operation, but no legal action has been taken. -- AATA
