Tomorrow night, TVO will present the Original There Are No Fakes. This documentary brings us into the shadowy world of art fraud in Canada and brings into question the legacy of Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau. When Barenaked Ladies musician Kevin Hearn purchases a Norval painting, it is labeled a fake. Eventually, Hearn sues the gallery that sold it to him. This action throws into doubt some 3,000 Morrisseau-attributed works worth $30,000,000.  As the investigation continues, it changes from a story about art fraud into revelations of Indigenous exploitation, abuse and violence. There Are No Fakes repeats February 3 and February 5 and will be available to stream anytime beginning February 1 on tvo.org.
