Former art forger Max Brandrett speaks to Insider about his experience and how art forgery works.
Max began his journey as a child in a poor Brighton neighborhood and eventually ran away to end up homeless in London. Max says that after he failed to find work, he decided to forge paintings and sell them with the help of an older accomplice he met in Portobello Road. Max tells us he forged over 500 paintings of artists such as Samuel Palmer and Louis Wain which sold in bespoke auctions and galleries making him over $600,000. After being arrested and jailed a few times Max decided to become a Copy Artist rather than a Forger. He has now made a legitimate business out of copying paintings.

Just as I thought. If you cant, then why there are articles about forged paintings in the press from time to time? And forgery still can work out as a replacement for real art in some sort of criminal scheme. Not a specialist myself, but as far as I know not every painting or picture goes trough complicated autentification, because it costs money.

@@mikemikelson8767 Yeah, no, a full on spectrum analyzed, dating authentication is very rarely done, it's expensive AND it's destructive, you have to chip off a bit of paint to test, cut a chunk of canvas, and cut a bit of wood from the stretcher. And x-ray which would show up the old image beneath it is expensive and difficult. BUT what IS cheap and easy and will show up instantly, is black light. Oil pants have florescence, BUT it fades as it ages, enough so that you can tell retouching from 20 years ago vs 70 years ago. And if an "old painting" is completely uniform, with no conservation it will still have a very different florescence from one done in the last 100 years. also, if paint is "cracking" but there's no chips or flakes esp at the edges where a painting rubs in the frame as heat and humidity cause it to stretch and shrink and wiggle that's going to be suspect. Honestly, there are hundreds of tells for modern forgeries; what's FAR harder is the stuff that was a copy of a 1450 work that was made in 1650, or trying to figure out if a given painting was ACTually done by a famous artist or if they signed a student's painting, or if it was an antique forgery or even a copy since then there was no such thing as a photograph, and if I wanted to preserve say a wedding picture of my grandparents, that meant painting a copy of the original painting. THAT'S what the heavy duty stuff is for.

@@jessicawalton4690 My family is loaded beyond what a lot of people can imagine but I get this assumption all the time. My ancestors hoarded their wealth and we inherited it without earning it. You know where that money goes? We pay full taxes and refuse using unfair loopholes to breaks. We work with organizations that help anyone who needs it. Organizations that pay off medical bills so that families don’t go into financial ruin because they got sick. Paying full college tuitions so newly graduated students can build their lives and save for a future instead of spending decades paying back student loans. Community programs that foster caring and empathy for your neighbors. Even a program that covers all pet expenses (food, vets, etc) for those who want them and can take care of them but can’t afford it. This means families don’t have to give up their furry family members due to financial hardship and someone who would benefit greatly from having one can. It keeps animals out of already overcrowded shelters. My fathers employees are paid above living wage, and every single one of them has paid family leave, paid sick leave whenever they’re sick, paid vacation leave, full coverage health insurance, full daycare coverage for those that want or need it. Things that foster and build long term stability while also helping people at the same time. He lobbies for higher taxes for the rich and fights for teachers unions because those people are teaching our children who will inherit this country one day. He came to the US from Denmark and hella socialist. aka redistribute wealth and eat the rich

Honestly I don't blame artists with enough talent and that work hard to get to a level where they can defraud people that have enough money to buy pricy art pieces. Seen a story about a fake wine maker with extraordinary ability to recognize tastes and smell who fakes very costly wines. They also give work to art specialists same way cyber criminals give work to cyber security. I was more impressed by his talent than disgusted by his fraud. However nowadays you don't have to forge. Just call anything a modern piece and find gullible rich people and sell them "a concept".

His "crimes" were victimless. The people who bought his paintings were victims of their own greed and stupidity. No piece of old canvas is ever actually worth vast sums of money. I truly hope that the art forging industry is alive and well today.

He’s a very talented man and plays it down. I love the fact they hoodwinked these galleries . I don’t think he deserved prison not at all

His forgeries are more interesting than the originals. Imagine inviting him over to your house as a dinner guest. Would be fascinating talking to him over a glass of Port. Up there with Quentin Crisp.

This guy is an artist. He painted these paintings not only to make a bit of money, but also for the love and beauty of art. The conceptual art today is more of a fraud than what he did. Galleries make millions off dead artists and people flog paintings of old masters and Damien Hirst et al. to launder money.

This is why money for art should only be given to the artist, if he/she is there. Then you can be 99% sure..

forging art shouldn’t be a crime. if you buy a piece because you like it and the artist isn’t exactly who you thought they were that doesn’t change the fact that you like that piece. the issue is you would spend thousands on a canvas just because of the artists name. watch ‘made you look’ on netflix. it makes you mad that these people get in some much trouble for simply having talent and other people are gullible.

I feel as though "3 or 4 down the auction house on a Sat'rday" might be an unusual number of previously undiscovered Davinci masterpieces to suddenly materialize?

Now days you just sell your finger paintings to “undisclosed” buyers for $500K+. But it’s all good as long as the “Big Guy” gets his 10% cut. You don’t even need to forge any famous works of art.
