Tracey's Rips

January 25, 2010 by Marion Maneker

Tracey's TitBBC News reports on a ring of forgers specializing in Tracey Emin’s work. After all, how hard is it to make neon signs?

Scotland Yard began an inquiry after concerns were raised about several paintings offered for sale. Det Sgt Vernon Rapley said: “We have identified a number of fakes of her work and that is under investigation.” Two men, aged 21 and 23, were arrested in Manchester in November on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and money-laundering. They were given bail.
