Trump's fake Renoir (ctd.)
October 20 2017
Picture: BBC/Chicago Institute of Art
Last year I reported that Donald Trump had a fake Renoir hanging in his New York appartment - a copy of La Loge from the Courtauld Institute in London. Now it turns out he has another one, this time a copy of Two Sisters (On the Terrace) from the Chicago Institute of Art (above). Trump was said by writer Tim O'Brien to have claimed that his version (seen in the background of an interview with Melania Trump in New York, below) was real. Now, the Chicago museum has been obliged to tell the media that it is "satisfied that our version is real".
Sad!
