News Alert #9 - Powerful New Ally In Fighting Art Crime and Art Fraud

by Fine Art Registry®
Share |



We are privileged to introduce our new member Curtis Dowling of the United Kingdom who recently became a member of Fine Art Registry®. He is an avid adversary, fighting against art crime, art fraud and the corruption that it encompasses. The following is a quote from his website: www.curtisantiques.co.uk

"When Curtis Dowling is not lecturing around the world on art forgery & scams or appearing on television he is hunting out fine art and fine antiques fakes and forgeries in whatever country or strange location that this takes him to."

Curtis has over 20 years experience in fine art and antiques.

We are more than honored to have Curtis Dowling on our team. On behalf of our Fine Art Registry members and our many victims of art fraud and art crime we welcome you and look forward to a long rewarding relationship in uncovering fraud wherever it may be uncovered.
