  • Millions of Pounds Worth of Masterpieces Have Disappeared from Art Galleries Around the UK (To Be Replaced by Copies for a National Sky Arts Competition)
    Press release EMBARGOED FOR 00.01HRS Friday 1 July 2016 Photo: Giles Coren and Rose Balston, © PA/Doug Peters Millions of pounds worth of masterpieces have disappeared from art galleries around the UK (to be replaced by copies for a national Sky Arts competition) A top secret operation last night saw millions of pounds worth of priceless masterpieces removed from the collections of galleries and museums around the UK. In a further twist, the seven paintings – all by celebrated British Artists – have been switched for copies. The heist has been coordinated by Sky Arts, with permission from the galleries, to launch a month-long national art competition for a new TV series called Fake! The Great Masterpiece Challenge. Only the museum curators, the production team from IWC Media, and presenters Giles Coren and art historian Rose Balston, know which pictures are real and which have been replaced. Throughout July, members of the public of all ages and experience are invited to use their detective skills to spot the seven copies hiding in plain sight on the walls of six galleries in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London and Manchester. All seven displays will also be available for investigation online, via the competition website: skyartsfake.com Those with a keen eye, who manage to correctly identify the ‘fakes’, stand the chance of being invited to take part in the series finale. The finalists will compete to win a specially commissioned copy of their very own. “You don’t have to be an art historian to have a go at this,” says Phil Edgar-Jones, Director of Sky Arts, “all you need is a sense of curiosity and an eye for detail.
