Fake or Fortune? is a 2011 BBC television series which examines the provenance of notable artworks. It is presented by journalist Fiona Bruce and art dealer and art historian Philip Mould.
There are four episodes:
- The authenticity of the Monet painting Bords de la Seine a Argenteuil.
- The ownership of the painting Children Under a Palm by Winslow Homer.
- The authenticity of the painting The Procuress owned by the Courtauld Institute
- Man in an Oriental Costume once attributed to Rembrandt as a portrait of the artist's father, which was on sale in a gallery in Cape Town, South Africa. The painting was identified as a work looted by the Nazis and was reattributed to Isaac de Jouderville.
As of February 2012, filming for a further series was in progress.
