Pei Shen Qian, the former New Yorker who has since fled to Shanghai, said in a recent interview that he was "shocked" when news broke that his artworks were being sold as by modern masters. “When I made these paintings, I had no idea they would represent them as the real thing to sell,” he said of his dealings with accused fraudster Glafira Rosales and her boyfriend.
The interview was broadcast Tuesday on “World News With Diane Sawyer” and “Nightline” as part of an ABC News investigation of the fake art industry and the Long Island fraud ring that flooded the market with over $80 million in forged work.
