Astonishing and incredible-but-true story of the world's greatest art forger, who painted over a thousand brilliant fake canvasses worth at the time more than sixty million dollars in the 'inauthentic' market of fine art. Of notable influence, de Hory, would quite possibly be the inspiration for Clifford Irving's possibly even greater single hoax a few years later of the inauthentic autobiography of Howard Hughes.
