“Art Agent” Busted In Florida

A man posing as an agent for visual artists has been arrested in Miami, after scamming several American and Canadian artists out of their work, having promised them cash and publicity that never materialized. Michael Harrison, who operated under a false name that hampered his pursuers for some time, told his ‘clients’ that his brother had been killed in the 9/11 attacks (he hadn’t,) and convinced them to send their best work as a donation to a non-existant foundation in his brother’s memory.
