Abstract:
Polio. Smallpox. Ebola. These viruses attack, sicken and sometimes kill a healthy body by sneaking past or overwhelming the body’s natural defenses. Schemes to cheat art buyers often mimic these deadly viruses.

The Art Fraud Virus explains how art fraud is born, reproduces and infects unwary customers. This easy-reading book describes many such viruses and shows how to avoid them. For art buyers who have contracted art fraud viruses, separate chapters explain how to diagnose (using logic and intuition) and treat the conditions (using investigation and litigation). Read The Art Fraud Virus before you even visit an art gallery!
