Stolen Paintings (Said Worth $67 Million) Are Fakes

Paintings stolen last summer in Australia which were “described at the time as Australia’s biggest art heist” and “worth $67 million” are fakes. “The paintings – which included one entitled Son in a High Chair alleged to have been painted by French impressionist Paul Cezanne – were recovered from a Robina duplex last June. But Tweed-Byron police Acting Inspector Brett Greentree said experts consulted, including international art dealers Sothebys, had determined that the paintings were not genuine.”
