Art collectors paid $1.9 million for fake Jackson Pollock paintings — including some splattered works that were audaciously sold on eBay.
John Re, an East Hampton-based painter, has been arrested in connection with the fraud — the latest in a string of Pollock forgeries.
In this case, collectors bought around 60 fakes.
