Prosecutors say Jason Harrington specialized in forgeries of works by Richard Hambleton and Barkley Hendricks.
A California graphic designer has pleaded guilty to selling over $1 million of forged paintings by renowned artists like Richard Hambleton and Barkley Hendricks to New York galleries, authorities said.
“ ‘Forged artwork harms investors, corrupts the integrity of the art market, and damages the historical-cultural record.’ ” As proof of provenance, Harrington provided a letter from a woman he said was his wife, and who wrote that she had been friends with Hambleton in New York and had bought the paintings from him at a discounted price in 2011, prosecutors said. The dealer agreed to pay $19,970 for the stop sign painting.
“ Authorities found evidence that the image of a man in one painting had been taken from a Wikipedia page, ‘1970s in fashion.’ ”
