Expert in Art Deception
About Giovanni Conti
In 2017, a single pigment analysis of a 'rediscovered' 1932 Modigliani sketch, sold for €2.4 million at Sotheby’s, revealed trace amounts of synthetic ultramarine only commercially available after 1958. That anomaly led investigators to Giovanni Conti, who had embedded the anachronism deliberately: not as a flaw, but as a silent signature, a cryptographic marker visible only under Raman spectroscopy. Conti doesn’t mimic brushstrokes, he reverse-engineers artistic intent, studying studio waste, dealer correspondence, and even cigarette ash residue in archival photos to reconstruct the material ecology of a period. His forgeries aren’t copies; they’re forensic reenactments, calibrated to pass both connoisseurship and conservation science. He’s never been charged, not because he’s untraceable, but because every piece he’s confirmed to have made carries a verifiable, non-destructive ‘key’ accessible only to those who know where, and how, to look.
