Description
Shaun Greenhalgh's remarkable story is one of art and deception. In 2007, he was sentenced to prison for producing artistic forgeries that fooled some of the world's greatest museums. But what really drove his success? Written in prison, A Forger's Tale reveals the extraordinary circumstances behind Greenhalgh's notorious career. From intricate drawings of Leonardo to detailed paintings of L.S. Lowry, and from ancient Anglo-Saxon brooches to modern masterpieces, Greenhalgh's forgeries were astonishingly diverse. This memoir offers a unique glimpse into his world, where art and forgery blurred together in unexpected ways. With great wit and charm, Greenhalgh shares the story of how he became one of Britain's most successful and infamous forgers. A Forger's Tale is a fascinating account of a man whose love for art led him down a path of deception and creativity.
