Fake or Fortune

Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould investigate a charming little white flower picture, purported to be by one of the most important abstract artists of the 20th century, Piet Mondrian. Its owner believes it to be genuine. However, the painting was turned down by the Mondrian authentication committee, so the team will have to find new evidence to help persuade them to change their mind.

Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould investigate a picturesque outdoor scene of women in a field sold at auction in England in the 'style of' Helen McNicoll, one of Canada's most important impressionist painters. The picture was bought at auction for £2,000, but it could be worth more than £300,000, if genuine. Scientific analysis reveals matching canvas weaves and pigment, strengthening the case.

The team take on an entertaining new challenge when they plunge into the fast-growing market for rock music memorabilia. Can they prove that a curious silver guitar once belonged to Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones? While a baby grand piano, now owned by 90s pop star Chesney Hawkes, is thought to have once belonged to John Lennon of The Beatles. But can the connection be proved?

Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould investigate a lovely landscape painting, purported to be by one of the forefathers of impressionism, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. Its owner, Sally Green's late husband, bought it in the late 1970s, primarily for the impressive frame. He was always intrigued by the painting and wondered if it was genuine. Sally is now on a mission to finish what he started.
