It is said that the greatest art forger in the world is the one who has never been caught―the astonishing story of America’s most accomplished art forger, Ken Perenyi.
Ten years ago, an FBI investigation in conjunction with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York was about to expose a scandal in the art world that would have been front-page news in New York and London. After a trail of fake paintings of astonishing quality led federal agents to art dealers, renowned experts, and the major auction houses, the investigation inexplicably ended, despite an abundance of evidence collected. The case was closed and the FBI file was marked “exempt from public disclosure.”
Now that the statute of limitations on these crimes has expired and the case appears hermetically sealed shut by the FBI, this book, Caveat Emptor, is Ken Perenyi’s confession. It is the story, in detail, of how he pulled it all off.
Glamorous stories of art-world scandal have always captured the public imagination. However, not since Clifford Irving’s 1969 bestselling Fake has there been a story at all like this one. Caveat Emptor is unique in that it is the first and only book by and about America’s first and only great art forger. And unlike other forgers, Perenyi produced no paper trail, no fake provenance whatsoever; he let the paintings speak for themselves. And that they did, routinely mesmerizing the experts in mere seconds.
In the tradition of Frank Abagnale’s Catch Me If You Can, and certain to be a bombshell for the major international auction houses and galleries, here is the story of America’s greatest art forger.

Greetings human listeners. I’m Cameron Brauer and this is My Alien Life Patron page. https://patron.podbean.com/myalienlife
My Alien Life is a podcast for those who have a story to tell, and I really wish I could get to all of your stories. I promise to do my best..
What is this? Think of it as an online tip jar. My Alien Life Patron Page is a website that gives everyone in the world an opportunity to become a patron and support the artists they believe in. The great thing about supporting My Alien Life is, you get to decide how much you feel comfortable contributing to each podcast. My goal is to keep doing at least two podcasts each week… And it’s okay if you want to put a cap on how much you’d like to support every month so you don’t go over your budget.. As you know, some weeks I get a burst of energy and I want to produce lots of new content…
I’ll keep producing episode after episode and you’ll get ALL the content.. I won’t hold back and make you pay for extra content.
And if you just want to listen without becoming a patron, that’s awesome, you still get to hear all My Alien Life Podcasts for free.
It’s expensive to make a podcast. There’s electronic gear, web domain fees, web hosting fees, tee-shirts, postage stamps, tin foil hats, alien assault spray and more…..
No matter what you decide, please always listen to the podcast. That’s what I really want. We are a team, and your support is what keeps people like us going…
Thank you for being amazing, and keep listening to My Alien Life the Podcast!!
Respectfully,
Cam
