31、0)Christophe Petyt is sitting in a Paris car, listing the adornments of his private art collection: several Van Goghs, and a comprehensive selection of the better impressionists. “I can,“ he says quietly, “really get to know any painting I like, and so can you. “ Half an hour later I am sitting in h

32、is office with Degas The Jockeys on my lap. If fine art looks good in a gallery, believe me, it feels even better in your hands. Petyt is the worlds leading dealer in fake masterpieces, a man whose activities provoke both admiration and exasperation in the higher levels of the art world. Name the pa

33、inting and for as little as $1,000 he will deliver you a copy so well executed that even the original artist might have been taken in.Petyts company employs over eighty painters, each ordered in the style of a particular artist or school. “We choose them very carefully,“ he says. “Theyre usually peo

34、ple with very good technique but not much creativity, who are unlikely to make it as artists in their own right. But they love the great works and have real insight into whats gone into them. “ Every work is individually ordered, using new canvases and traditional oil paints, before being artificial

35、ly aged by a variety of simple but ingenious techniques.The notional value of the original is not the determining factor, however, when it comes to setting the retail value of Petyts paintings. This is actually linked to the amount of effort and expertise that has gone into producing the copy. An ob

36、scure miniature may therefore cost much more than a bigger, better-known painting by a grand master. The Degas Im holding looks as though it came off the artists easel yesterday. Before being sold it has to be aged, and this, so to speak, is the real “art“ of the copy. A few minutes in a hot oven ca

37、n put years on a canvas, black tea apparently stains it beautifully and new frames can be buried underground, then sprayed with acid.The view when Petyt started out was that very little of this could be legal. He was pursued through the French courts by museums and by descendants of the artists. Thi

38、s concern was perhaps understandable in a country that has been rocked by numerous art fraud scandals. “ The establishment was suspicious of us,“ huffs Petyt, “but for the wrong reasons, I think Some people want to keep all the best art for themselves. “ He won the case and as the law now stands, th

39、e works and signatures of any artist who has been dead for seventy years can be freely copied. The main proviso is that the copy cannot be passed off to dealers as the real thing. To prevent this every new painting is indelibly marked on the back of the canvas, and as an additional precaution a tiny

40、 hidden piece of gold leaf is worked into the paint.Until he started the business ten years ago, Paetyt, a former business-school student, barely knew one artist from another. Then one particular painting by Van Gogh caught his eye. At $10 million, it was well beyond his reach so he came up with the

41、 iclea of getting an art-student friend to paint him a copy. In an old frame it looked absolutely wonderful, and Petyt began to wonder what market there might be for it. He picked up a coffee-table book of well-known paintings, earmarked a random selection of works and got his friend to knock them o

42、ff. “Within a few months I had about twenty good copies. “ he says, “so I organised an exhibition.
