It has been scientifically proven that artworks— paintings, drawings or sculptures — just like diamonds, gold, luxury automobiles and other extravagant items, are more desirable if they have bigger price tags attached to them.” Read more...

IRVINE, Calif.—Police have arrested a 42-year-old man who they say made at least $300,000 auctioning off art forgeries on eBay.

Forty-two-year-old Vincent Lopreto is accused of selling imitations of works by English artist Damien Hirst that would be worth up to $20,000 apiece if authentic.

Lt. Rick Handfield said detectives have confirmed $300,000 in sales of bogus works by Lopreto, but they suspect he has bilked many more online customers, giving them fraudulent certificates of authenticity along with the fake art.

Lopreto was booked at the Orange County Jail on Tuesday and held in lieu of $350,000 bail.
