An 84-year-old man whose family forged statues and paintings that were sold to museums including the Art Institute of Chicago received a two-year suspended sentence in London on Monday, The Associated Press reported. The man, George Greenhalgh, right; his wife, Olive, 83; and their son, Shaun, 46, pleaded guilty in 2002 to laundering money from the sale of forged artworks. In November a sentence of more than four years was imposed on Shaun, described by the authorities as the creator of fakes that supposedly ranged across the millennia, from gold and silver Roman and Anglo-Saxon works to sculptures attributed to Paul Gauguin and Henry Moore. Mrs. Greenhalgh received a one-year sentence. The police said the parents handled most of the sales. Detective Sgt. Vernon Rapley, chief of Scotland Yardâs art and antiques unit, said there was little doubt that some of the familyâs forgeries were still circulating in the art world.
