The MACE has provided two paintings from his collection of Elmyr de Hory for the exhibition: Elmyr de Hory: PROJECT FAKE. These are two oils on canvas, each style of Degas 1972 (59 x 72 cm.) and another in the style of Picasso (80 x 60 cm.).

Elmyr de Hory was one of the greatest art forgers in history. Born in Hungary in 1906 and lived in the seventies for 16 years in Ibiza, where he committed suicide in 1976 when he learned that he would be extradited to be tried for forgery, reaching over a thousand pictures painted by painters such as Degas, Picasso, Modigliani, etc.. many of which were later hung in museums.
