Yes, they are using Pure Evil fakes to carry out a pure evil scam. The program is broken up, just waiting for them to return back to the subject - there is something about handbags at the mo.

The Real Hustle - Art Scam, by toothfairy on Nov 14, 2008 0:13:29 GMT 1, In the end it wasn't that interesting. It was good seeing a couple who didn't know the first thing about art get conned. To cut a long story short - the originals they bought came off the wall for packing in the back room, where they were switched for fakes. They also thought they were getting a 3 for 2 offer (how niave, its not bloody Tesco's).
Good to see Pure Evil's work on tv. For anyone interested, it'll probably be on BBC iplayer soon.

Really good watch ;D ;D ;D
I wonder if Pure Evil was asked about this before they did it?
Lucky for Sam at ArtRepublic he was really on the ball, and gave the pictures a good going over.

Which reminds me, i need to come and take some snaps of your work Silky. It's for a book or some shit. I guarantee it will make your art work rocket in value ;D

The Real Hustle - Art Scam, by romanywg on Nov 14, 2008 10:50:20 GMT 1, The power of the media. The most hits I received on my flickr yesterday was for a piece by Pure Evil from Cans that had no interest at all in the past few months.
