| Elmyr de Hory was calIed "The Myth of our Century" when he was revealed 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 traveIed easiIy throughout Europe's high society. Even his death was the subject of much speculation. His paintings were soId throughout North America, Europe, and Japan, and their total market vaIue is estimated to be over one-hundred million doIlars. Many fine and rerspected gaIleries and museums are in possession of what they beIieve to be a valuable "Matisse" or "Modigliani," 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 EImyr's as author CIifford lrving, actress UrsuIa Andress, notorious smuggIer Anthony Hugo, as welI as WiIIiam Robinson, curator of the Fogg Museum of Art in Boston, and David Breuer of Sotheby's Auction House in London. |
