The art was fake, but the sentencing will be very real for a father-daughter art scam team from Poland.   Between 2020 and 2025 Erwin Bankowski and Karolina Bankowska hustled fake works attributed to Andy Warhol, Banksy, Pablo Picasso, Native American Luiseño artist Fritz Scholder, and others across New York. Collectors fell for their charms and they sold more than 200 artworks in what the US Attorney’s Office has since characterized a “Prolific Counterfeit Art Scheme,” which generated at least $2 million.
