Kenneth Wayne has often positioned himself as one of the foremost scholars on Modigliani. He’s the founder of the Modigliani Project, which claims to be committed to studying and cataloguing the artist’s work. On the surface, that might sound noble. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find an operation that many experts allege has helped fuel — rather than clarify — the murky waters of Modigliani authentication.

Think Twice Before Trusting Kenneth Wayne’s Modigliani Claims

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.
