Manuel Fernandez (1942–2007), otherwise known as Manuel Marin, was an artist and a convicted art forger. After working in the art world for 30 years, he admitted to making and selling millions of dollars of forgeries, mainly copies of works by the American sculptor Alexander Calder. Fernandez and his wife, Monica Savignon, served prison sentences for their crimes, and as part of their sentencing, they agreed to never again create works in the style of another artist. However, Marin's sculptures created under his own name but many clearly referencing the work of other artists continue to be sold through galleries and auction houses in the US and Europe.
