The strange business of selling fakes, forgeries and other concoctions attributed to Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) and other Nazi criminals.


"Knacks with fake Hitlers, London (UK)

Or: how Jake and Dinos Chapman, a.k.a. the Chapman brothers fooled themselves and the world by claiming that they had bought thirteen original Hitler watercolors and drawings. 

To make matters worse: by doing so the Chapman brothers financed and inspired the Hitler forgery industry with £115,000.

Why did they do so? To shock the world with the artwork If Hitler Had Been A Hippy How Happy Would We Be, for which they painted stars and rainbows on the Hitlers to "subordinate the metaphysical value of its evil".
