The week ahead starts off mild in the northeast with chance of storms midweek. Next. Well, i just felt if i can outsmart them, so much the better. The art of the fake. Come on. Come on and later,, the collector who falls for the art of the fake is likely to feel embarrassed, to say the least. Not so the fakeer, who has taken so many of those collectors in. We spoke to a painter who prides himself on being a master forger, and his nefarious work is the subject of our sunday morning cover story. The story youre about to hear is a confession of a talent tempted, of a painter driven into a darker form of art. Well, i just felt that if i can outsmart them, so much the better. His name is ken perenyi, selftaught for the most part. I learned to paint by looking very carefully at paintings in museums. I just felt that if i had paints and brushes, i could do that too. I was convinced. He learned well. His steady hand, his eye for detail are often compared to many of the 19th century masters. But perenyi didnt just use his paintbrush to please. For him, his art was also a con. It was me against the experts. Can i outsmart them again . Can i outwit them . Can i succeed . Can i make a fake and pass it off as an original . You heard right, make a fake. Perenyi spent a lifetime ripping off art dealers and auction houses by painting fakes so accurate that few could tell the difference between his forgeries and the real thing. Did you get a rush from doing it . Yeah, sure. It was addictive . Absolutely. Risk is addictive, whether its gambling or the stock market, its like going out for the hunt. This here is a Morten Johnson heed that i painted. Not a Martin Johnson . Hes not apologetic about his misdeeds. In fact, hes downright proud. Its something that im particularly pleased with. The detail is amazing. Thank you. Yeah. He carefully nurtured his dubious craft in a way many cherish a fine wine. And hes now written a tellall book caveat emptor, buyer beware, detailing every dirty deed he did. Youre certainly not asking anybodys forgiveness. Youre gloating about it, about getting away with it. I wouldnt characterize it about gloating. Id say its being honest. Perenyi never meant to be a forger. He had meant to be an artist in his own right when he started in the 1960s in new york, but his original work wasnt getting much attention. So he turned to a small flemish portrait he had once copied out of a book. It became the first fake he ever sold. As i was approaching the gallery, i started getting very nervous. I was begood evening to realize, maybe this was crazy. But i forced myself to do it. His sales pitch was always simple and calculated. You were very careful not to ever pass your fakes off as real. You went in and sort of played dumb, said, i dont really know what this is, i bought it at a garage sale and found it somewhere, what do you think, and let them make their own judgment. In a sense i guess i got a perverse pleasure out of it. I like to present the painting and let the expert explain to me what i have. Youd stand there watching them go over the painting inch by inch. That was part of the pleasure of the whole thing. He, of course, is not first art forger, but perenyi is perhaps one of the most prolific. He learned to imitate an astonishing range of 19th century painters, like maritime artist james buttersworth, known for the delicate lines on his sails. This is an original buttersworth. Now look at kens forgery of a buttersworth. Thats all done freehand. Nothing is drawn in with pencils or anything. Thats actually done with a brush, and you have to have an incredibly steady hand to achieve that. And thats what buttersworth was noted for, and even that little ship there, if you look very closely, has lines painted as fine as a human hair painted on it. How did you learn how to do that . A lot of practice. Theres john f. Herring, whose equestrian paintings had a unique look. This is one of my favorites right here. Ken copied him, as well, right down to the bootstraps. He took particular care in the boot and the saddle and in the face of the jockey. And it is a very difficult technique to understand and master. But the crown jewel of his forgeries was a Martin Johnson heed. In 1994, it went on the sothebys Auction Block as an original. That night he took home a receipt for 650,000, money to be wired to his account. Is that your biggest score you ever had . On one painting, yeah. Just typical business. Just typical business. Yeah. To you maybe, not to most people. All these little loss where the paint slipped off, youve done all of that on purpose . Oh, absolutely, yeah. It wasnt only the paintings themselves he forged. I like the effects of age. He learned to fake time himself. I often like to look at the backs of my paintings and hang them this way. Because youre more proud of that . Yeah, yeah, i think this is an illusion that i like to create. How well can you making something look really old thats all brandnew . He became an expert at faking the forensics of a painting, weathering wooden frames, staining a perfectly new canvas to make it look old. It discolors through the years, and i learned to simulate that. So thats all made up . Its all made up. Its all brandnew. He mimicked chalk marks left by auction houses and recreated stamps from dealers. Thats a new stamp. I make those on copy machines and then stain them with tea and glue them on there. Youve got a process for everything. Yes. Even the nails he used to pin the canvas down were period. Okay. But perhaps most important of all, is his ability to replicate how oil paint cracks with age. There are patterns, he says, like a spider web, that with heat and the right chemicals he can reproduce like father time himself. This is a very beautiful example of a portrait with a very fine cracking pattern. And if you look at these closely, youll see a nice sweeping pattern to them. Thats a nice touch of authenticity. Its an ongoing process. Im still perfecting it today. He says today because hes still painting fakes. Only now he sells them as fakes. The look of the real thing for much cheaper. But why come clean now . Well, because he almost got caught. The f. B. I. Had been investigating forgeries at the big auction houses, sothebys and christies and had traced a few suspected paintings back to perenyi. But he dodged their questions saying he didnt know the origin of the paintings. He had just passed them along. Were they ever wrong in any of their accusations . No. They nailed it. Sure, yeah. It was pretty hard to deny it. And yet the f. B. I. Never filed charges, even perenyi isnt sure why. All he knows is that now no one can touch him. The statute of limitations on his misdeeds has run out. You lied to the agents. Yeah, i would say so, yeah. But, well, thats in my world thats vital. Its part of the game. As you might imagine, it was no game to those in the art world. So what is, ken, in your mind . A thief. Essentially hes a thief on the loose. Brenda simonsonmole is an art appraisor in dallas. She read perenyis bold confession with disgust. It does irritate me. Its bank robbery with a paintbrush. But if you ask him, he says its pretty much a victimless crime. Its not really a victimless crime. Someone ends up with essentially fools gold, you know, on their walls. While hes up front now about his fakes, he left a very long trail. He estimates there are about 1,000 of his forged works still out there, duping wouldbe buyers to this day. Its like bumping into an old friend, you know, its good to see where theyve gone in the world. But dont we all suffer a little from having fakes out there . I dont think so. I think that ive made a contribution to the art world. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say, so whether you see him as painter or a conartist, perenyi himself seems most proud of being both. A real Sticking Point coming up.

A Research Team led by richard drew had spent nearly a year developing the clear, sticky tape, which 3m proceeded to market under the brand name scotch. From first, sales of the new allpurpose tape were on a roll, boosted by the demonstrations of its toughness, Strong Enough to tow a car, too strong for mr. America to pull aparts. By the 1950s, a series of tv ads made their debut, starring cartoon pitch man scotty mctape. Its smooth sailing with scotch brand cellophane tape. I am thrifty. In 1978 the ubiquitous tape became a pop culture artifact when saturday night live imagined a store that sold nothing else. Oh, welcome to scotch boutique. Do you sell any recording tape here . New york just the sticky kind. See, i told you. Next time you need the sticky kind, youll know where to come. Participants in an art show in britain last year didnt need to be sold on scotch tapes virtue, rolling out a series of remarkable sculptures fashioned from little more than just a few roles of tape. Although Research Engineer richard drew died in 1980, the Company Still adheres to the standard of convenience he pioneered.

Michael jackson tonight on 60 school is back in session around the country and starts tomorrow at the urban Dove Team Charter School here in new york city. Its a school that goes against the grain. Instead of cutting back on phys ed classes, its actually using sports as a hook to draw in atrisk students. Our jeff glor paid a visit to ask its founder just how he does it and why. When you first told people you wanted to start a school based around sports, physical acttivities. Youre crazy. That was the reaction you got . Youre crazy. What are you doing . Why would you do that . Starting a school is an extremely difficult proposition. Perhaps even more difficult because jay nanda decided to launch his new school last year in in the bedfordstivson neighborhood of new york city. Weve seen a lot of high school dropouts, a lot of obesity. Weve created a school that attacks Health Issues where its so critical. Youre inside a church. For now. The lab for this school is two floors of this pentecostal church, which hes renting until he finds a permanent home. The kids come here from all over the city. 93 live below the poverty line. Many never showed up for class at their old schools. But nanda actively recruits kids that other schools have given up on. So when you go to these schools and say, give me your worst students, their reaction is . Awesome. Great. And from. Not from a we dont like them, but someone else can educate them and get them to be successful, great. We cant do it. You want em, you got em. Its a win for everybody. Nandas approach was to flip the whole idea of school on its head. At a time when only six states require phys ed in every grade and nine states require recess, he decided to make sports the cornerstone of his program. When students here arrive at school, they dont sit behind a desk. They spend the first three hours of every day with their team and coaches. They play basketball, lift weights, jump rope, use punching bags, ride bikes and do yoga. Physical education, sports, athletics, i think its being dismissed. We need to recognize that a full education requires that kids are active. What is it about sports . Its fun. Kids enjoy doing it. I think theres Something Special about being on a team. Kids look at a coach differently. Theyre willing to share. Theyre willing to listen. Hey, whats going on . Whats the problem . Why are you angry . Why are you upset . Its me, coach. Thats a unique conversation. You can do that. That may be whats most unique about the program. When kids go to social studies, english and math, their coach goss with them, sitting in class, helping with homework and sorting out problems. We caught up with one of the coaches, alanna arthurs. We see them bright and early in the morning, and then were the last person to see them at the end of the day. You see them in the gym. You see them in the classroom. In the hallway. I follow them. Its weird. You follow them . Yes. Why . As soon as they walk out tha
