>>F-B-I Arrests Man Accused Of Selling Forged Paintings By Keith Haring
(Reading, PA) -- A man from Mexico is now behind bars for allegedly selling forgeries of paintings by Berks County-native Keith Haring. The F-B-I recently arrested Angel Pereda after investigators say he approached a couple of New York auction houses to sell artworks purportedly made by Haring. The Keith Haring Foundation helped authorities bust the scheme as officials determined the artworks offered to the auction houses were not made by the late Reading artist.
