Fakes and Forgeries exhibition opening in Mangaweka
Update: 2025-10-24
Description
In a competition inspired by the famous Foxton forger, dozens of artists have submitted their best imitations in the hope of earning a coveted central North Island counterfeiting crown. The biennial Mangaweka Fakes and Forgeries exhibition opens tomorrow and the judges are right now finalising the top forger or faker. The event is nearly 20 years old and is inspired by New Zealand's only convicted art fraudster, Karl Sim, who was born in Managweka. Jimmy Ellingham reports
