Born in 1948 in East London. William Mumford first rose to prominence in the 1990s when he painted near exact versions of the works by Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh and Lowry among others and passed them off as originals. He was eventually jailed for two years after putting £6 million in fake works through some of the art world's best known auction houses. Branded as the 'most prolific art fraudster of modern times' by the presenter of BBC programme Fake Britain. This reformer art forger is an incredibly talented artist whose works have now become masterpieces in their own right.
