Thomas Patrick 'Tom' Keating was a British restorer and notorious art forger born on March 1, 1917, in London. He initially worked as a painter and decorator but became known for his over 2,000 forgeries of more than 100 artists, motivated by an ideological opposition to the gallery system. His technique involved embedding 'time bombs' in artworks, ensuring they would be damaged upon cleaning. After his forgery activities were exposed in 1970, he faced legal challenges but was not convicted. Later, he gained fame as a TV presenter, demonstrating painting styles of renowned artists until his death in 1984.
