Art forger, Ken Perenyi, proudly reveals his imitative paintings have been included in various catalog raisonnes and have easily sold through major and minor auction houses. Based on this publication anyone collecting James E. Buttersworth, Antonio Jacobsen, Gilbert Stuart, William A. Walker, Martin Johnson Heade, Charles Bird King, John F. Peto, John F. Herring, James Seymour, John Nost Sartorius, Thomas Whitcombe, Charles Brooking ought to review their acquisitions. Perenyi openly mocks major gallery figures who were duped by his creations.
His canvas prep to support the notion of proper aging is chronicled in detail. His dedication to pairing his paintings with appropriate frames is declared.
For thirty years this individual carried out a career of art forging. Currently Perenyi resides in Florida, likely receiving no legal punishment for making and selling fraudulent art. Perhaps his community service is laying his whole procedure out in this book, published in 2012.
