The dead don't sculpt.

Edgar Degas was dead when this 3rd-generation-removed counterfeit was posthumous reproduced.

Additionally, Edgar Degas never signed his original mixed-media sculptures. So, how did his name -Degas- come to be on every single one of the thousands of counterfeits in museums and collections around the world.

That's a rhetorical statement not meant to answered.

To learn more about one of the largest art frauds of the 20th-21st century frauds, Google -Gary Arseneau- and -Degas-.

Kimberly Castro, deputy business editor of U.S.News & World Report, takes a look at the luxe life, from fine wines and cars to high-end real estate and wealth management. Though no elitist, Kim does admit a fondness for a bold bottle of Scout's Honor from Venge Vineyards and satiating her wanderlust in Europe.
