		March 15 — John Myatt, the unassuming master forger at the heart of what British police have called the biggest contemporary art fraud of the 20th century, once stood at the back of an auction room and watched four of his fake masterpieces sell for thousands of dollars.
		Yet along with a partner who would turn out to be a career con man, John Drewe, Myatt took part in a sophisticated seven-year scheme that swindled many of the art world's swankiest specialists in the booming art market of the 1980s and 1990s — and brought in millions of pounds.

		Drewe paid Myatt to rapidly dash off “original works” based on the style of masters that were then sold as genuine all over the world for large sums.
		However, the “driving force behind the scam,” according to the judge that last year sentenced Drewe to six years in prison for conspiracy and theft (and Myatt to one year), was Drewe’s hypnotizing effect and the care with which he forged declarations of authenticity from previous owners in order to make the paintings seem legitimate.

		Further the identified pieces of Myatt pottery include pieces which are of a very different design and which can certainly be seen as more of an attempt at well designed, modern, studio pieces than the others.
