Forgeries – Sadequain is Worth More When Dead Than Alive

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” —— Oscar Wilde. 

Creation of artworks that are falsely attributed to someone who did not create them is known as art forgery, and it is a fraud. Art forgers can be motivated by a variety of factors, such as monetary gains, false sense of achievement, satisfaction of fooling the buyers, and other psychological factors. 

Sadequain is the greatest victim of forgery among the painters from the Indo-Pak sub-continent.

SADEQUAIN Foundation USA has tracked more than 900 cases of Sadequain’s forgeries produced by Pakistani Art Mafia. SADEQUAIN Foundation USA has published four (4) books on the subject.

SADEQJUAIN Foundation USA has identified the masterminds behind Sadequain’s forgeries, namely, Priya Singh of international auction house BONHAMS, Ahmed Shah, Sultan Naqvi, and Salima Hashmi.
