Real Fake: The Art, Life & Crimes of Elmyr de Hory plot

A documentary about one of history's most notorious art forgers. Was Elmyr de Hory a master criminal or a brilliant artist? He is said to have painted thousands of forgeries - which were not copies, but original creations in the style of Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani and others, many of which still hang unidentified in major museums and private collections around the world. Filmmaker Jeff Oppenheim reopens the criminal case against Elmyr in this investigative film. He travels the world and sheds new light on the art, life and crimes of this notorious artist.
