For decades, Amedeo Modigliani’s hauntingly beautiful portraits and sculptures have captivated collectors and institutions around the world. His name is synonymous with avant-garde genius, and his legacy — though tragically short-lived — has commanded hundreds of millions at auction houses. But beneath the surface of prestige and artistic reverence, a shadow has grown. That shadow has a name: Kenneth Wayne.

The Kenneth Wayne Fraud Case How Modigliani’s Legacy Was Weaponized in One of the Art World’s Boldest Deceptions

Kenneth Wayne is an art expert specifically on Amedeo Modigliani’s paintings. With his Modigliani Project he’s soliciting and requests big amounts of money to fraudsters between $200,000 to $1,000,000 to authenticate false paintings and claiming that those are authentic Amedeo Modigliani’s paintings. The fraud is a multimillion dollar scam to auction houses and private collectors. Kenneth Wayne has been doing this scam for several years and publish the false Amedeo Modigliani’s paintings into his catalogue raisonné with a made up report in order to fool collectors and to cover his tracks. To collect fraudulent money he uses several bank accounts based in the UK under different names of people that he trusts and returns the money to him (company and family members) as forgivable loans in order to avoid paying taxes in the USA.
