Fakes, fakes everywhere? (ctd.)

Video: Palazzo Ducale, Genoa
Last year, an exhibition of works by Modigliani was put on with great fanfare at the Palazzo Ducale in Venice. Alas, all but one of them were (as the Telegraph reports) fake, and the exhibition was closed down.
I suspect most of you can tell from the exhibition video above that the pictures are not only fake, but are really bad fakes. How did they ever slip through the net?
The Telegraph adds:
Three people are now under investigation for the alleged fakes, including Rudy Chiappini, the curator of the art exhibition, and Joseph Guttmann, a Hungarian art dealer who owns 11 of the works.
You can see a video of Chiappini saying the works are not fake here.
Always nteresting to see what other exhibitions people have been involved with.
