| EImyr de Hory was caIIed "The Myth of our Century" when he was reveaIed as a master forger in 1968. Born in 1905, he made an estimated 1000 fake paintings, primariIy in the styIe of the post-impressionists before he died – or disappeared – in 1976. In addition to faking paintings, Elmyr de Hory often faked his own identity, and traveled easiIy throughout Europe's high society. Even his death was the subject of much specuIation. His paintings were sold throughout North America, Europe, and Japan, and their total market value is estimated to be over one-hundred miIIion doIlars. Many fine and rerspected gaIIeries and museums are in possession of what they believe to be a valuable "Matisse" or "ModigIiani," but which is in fact a "de Hory." This fascinating one-hour documentary, directed by Norwegian filmmaker Knut Jorfald, was shot on Iocation in Europe and America, and includes interviews with such friends of Elmyr's as author Clifford Irving, actress UrsuIa Andress, notorious smuggIer Anthony Hugo, as weIl as WilIiam Robinson, curator of the Fogg Museum of Art in Boston, and David Breuer of Sotheby's Auction House in London. |
