PARIS. French investigators claim to have uncovered a large-scale counterfeiting operation led by a Parisian artist that produced fake 20th-century design classics by Jean Prouvé, Charlotte Perriand, Alexandre Noll and Pierre Chareau. Six suspects, including four members of the artist’s family, were arrested on 25 November; they are accused of counterfeiting, receiving counterfeit goods and fraud. The artist, Christian Duran, died in 2006.
