Book description
"Tetro, one of the most prolific art forgers of the 20th century, paints his own life story with flair in this cinematic memoir... Written in a colorful, conversational voice and blending memoir, art history, and true crime, Tetro's account takes readers on a turbulent, fast-paced, high-stakes roller-coaster ride. This is the art world's The Wolf of Wall Street."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)"[Tetro's] memoir, cowritten with investigative journalist Giampiero Ambrosi, is absolutely fascinating, full of the kind of evocative writing and precise detail that brings an autobiography to life. He might have been doing something illegal, but it's awfully hard not to like Tony Tetro. Like reformed con artist Frank W. Abagnale (Catch Me If You Can), he seems straightforward, open about his crimes, and just a bit proud of his success as a crook. A welcome addition to any true-crime shelf." -Booklist (starred review)"Compulsively readable."-Daily Mail"A successful, prolific art forger tells his remarkable story...He has amusing things to say about people who have too much money and not enough sense.... Tetro tells his rollicking story well, and the result is a unique narrative. An entertaining account that shines a light onto a shady world as well as a personal story of hubris and redemption."-Kirkus Reviews"First, a warning: after reading this book, you might find yourself inspecting the pictures hanging in museums and galleries a little more closely....This mind-boggling and absorbing memoir charts the rise and fall of the American forger, who made headlines when some of his Monets were discovered in the collection of King Charles III. Expect art history, big money, sex, and corruption." -Monocle"Juicy....[Tetro] promises 'an art history lesson wrapped in sex, drugs, and Caravaggio.' AKA all the things we look for in a great holiday party."-Urban Daddy"If you love a story of wild excess, here you go. How much will you take Tony Tetro's word as truth? Read and decide for yourself."-BookRiot jQuery(function() { jQuery( "#tabs" ).tabs(); });
