<B>Daniele Donde</B><BR>Italian painting<BR>Pop Art<BR>B. 1950<BR>Marilyn Monroe<BR>1999<BR>Oil on canvas<BR>120x90cm<BR>Signed.<BR>Daniele Dond was born in Cremona<BR>the birthplace of so many internationally famous artists<BR>the greatest of whom being the violinmaker Antonio Stradivari. Dond<BR>the son of renowned art collectors<BR>learned to love art from an early age<BR>in particular<BR>the contemporary art in his family's art collection. This collection became famous following the death of his father<BR>as Dond was forced to sell it for financial reasons and in the midst of this crisis he learned that 50% of the works in this prestigious collection<BR>bought from generations of hard work and sacrifices<BR>were in fact fakes. Following this crippling disappointment<BR>Dond intended to make it the aim of his life to discover who could have tricked his family<BR>by searching out those who had created these beautiful but deceptive fakes. Once he had tracked down the forgers<BR>he threatened to notify the authorities if they failed to accept his somewhat indecent proposal: they had to agree to work solely for him<BR>not to cheat collectors but rather in order to make great art masterpieces available to all<BR>at prices that the wider public could afford. This was in 1983 and so he had realized a great dream and at the same time he had exacted revenge on dishonest gallery owners as he had denied them access to those who would create the fakes for them. He had legalized the work of the forgers<BR>bringing it to the light of day and creating a worldwide respected artistic movement that aroused the interest of art collectors from all over the world. In 1984 he became the undisputed leader of the idea that until that moment had been considered crazy and unachievable. Working constantly and with determination<BR>he took his idea around the world<BR>putting on exhibitions of "legal fakes"<BR>in major cities: Milan<BR>Rome<BR>Geneva<BR>Zurich<BR>Munich<BR>Frankfurt<BR>Amsterdam<BR>Madrid<BR>Barcelona<BR>Istanbul<BR>Cyprus<BR>Paris<BR>London<BR>New York<BR>Moscow<BR>Sydney<BR>Tokyo<BR>Kyoto<BR>St Moritz<BR>Gstaad<BR>Monte Carlo<BR>etc. In these cities and elsewhere he has organized temporary exhibitions that have attracted millions of art lovers and collectors. The copies on show are of works by Van Gogh<BR>Monet<BR>Renoir<BR>Degas<BR>Modigliani<BR>Sisley<BR>Lautrec<BR>Pissarro<BR>in short all the most highly sought after and valuable masterpieces that have been made accessible to the general public and are no longer reserved for a few multi-millionaires. Dond's motto is: "give everyone a masterpiece". In 1990 at his exhibition in Manhattan a New York<BR>Dond was given the honorary title of Professor and Doctor of modern and contemporary art from the prestigious American University<BR>an honor that few international artists have received. In 1999 in Geneva he received recognition from another source<BR>"Crystal Globe"<BR>which is only given to the most famous Italians in the world. Dond<BR>appreciated by internationally famous VIP's like Frank Sinatra<BR>Roger Moore<BR>Sofia Loren<BR>Harnold Swarzenneger<BR>Sultan of Brunei<BR>Albert of Monaco<BR>Mohamet Alfajet<BR>Flavio Briatore<BR>Gianluca Vialli<BR>etc.<BR>is credited with having created the biggest and most popular art movement in the world<BR>in which European<BR>Asian<BR>Australian and American artists have copied and followed the crazy idea that Dond had and they have all continued to contribute to the diffusion of legalized fakes throughout the world. His participation has led to this movement also starting in China<BR>where they produce copies that are of poor quality artistically but have a high commercial value. Dond therefore also has the responsibility or the merit of having suggested to the Chinese forgers that they make copies of great European works of art and so China lives and makes a living thanks to the extraordinary idea that came out of the dream of a young man from a small art town in the provinces<BR>who<BR>through taking revenge on those who wronged his family<BR>accidentally spread the strangest idea ever dreamed all over the world. The world of contemporary art owes a great deal to Dond. Dond now lives and works in his contemporary art studio<BR>art of the future<BR>art that many museums would already like to monopolize; Dond is the name to invest in now<BR>right now. For more than 25 years Dond has been the modern world leader in contemporary art. Dond is the most popular and most collected Italian of all the new artists that have appeared on the world scene; no other living artist has been so widely sought after by the media; over 10,000 interviews in 30 years<BR>over 10,000 photographic sessions with the most important European<BR>Asian<BR>Australian<BR>American and even Chinese media in the world. Dond is considered a legend in modern and contemporary art and his works are on show in the homes of the richest families in the world. Any millionaire<BR>VIP or member of the jet set of any importance will boast of having in his collection a work that has been signed by Dond<BR>the most highly acclaimed and photographed of his VIP collectors. Dond currently lives and works between Italy and Switzerland in his studio show-room in Lugano.
