Description

Calling on four decades of experience as a specialist dealer in the creations of Carl Fabergé, Andre Ruzhnikov exposes both the worldwide forgers producing fake Fabergé and the dealers who knowingly trade in them. The corruption reaches all the way to the heights of St Petersburg’s venerable Hermitage Museum and to the depths of a so-called ‘Fabergé Museum’ in the German spa-town of Baden-Baden. Ruzhnikov demonstrates how the great Fabergé fraud reaches into the deepest recesses of the Kremln. Pacy, punchy and provocative, Fauxbergé is essential reading for lovers of art, and justice.

Author Biography:

Andre Ruzhnikov clinched his first deal in his native Moscow in 1968 – when he sold a 19th century icon to Daily Express correspondent Roy Blackman, who had recently landed the first interview with notorious British spy, Kim Philby. Ruzhnikov travelled the other way, emigrating to the West in 1976 to deal in Russian art. In 2004 he brokered the sensational ninefigure deal to sell the Forbes Collection of Fabergé Imperial Easter Eggs. Now based in London, Ruzhnikov is a powerful and outspoken voice on the Russian art scene whose clinically observant, hard-hitting on-line posts demand market attention and enjoy cult status. Andre Petrovsky resides in London.
