Brahimy takes a look at the personal experience of the Khedrs, the first individuals to raise legal cases against fake and forged works in Egypt to explore the rise of the phenomenon in the non-Western world. The con to which the couple fell victim was allegedly orchestrated by a \u201cwell-respected figure in the arts\u201d who introduced the Khedrs to art collecting, only to sell them replicas of artworks, with the purchasers none the wiser. According to Brahimy, the scheme was particularly successful due to the general lack of knowledge in the country on Egyptian modernist painters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to familiarize yourself with modern Egyptian art? <\/strong>Start with the image above from the Museum of Egyptian Modern Art, also known as the Gezira Center for Modern Art, one of Cairo\u2019s hidden gems and home to works by world-renowned Egyptian artists including Mahmoud Sa\u00efd, Mahmoud Mokhtar, and Youssef Kamel, among others. The museum was most recently the target of an art heist, when a \u201cmovie director\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youm7.com\/story\/2017\/1\/20\/%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%A8%D8%B6-%D8%B9%D9%84%D9%89-%D9%85%D8%AE%D8%B1%D8%AC-%D8%B3%D9%8A%D9%86%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%A6%D9%89-%D8%B3%D8%B1%D9%82-5-%D9%84%D9%88%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D9%85%D9%86-%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%AD%D9%81-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%81%D9%86\/3064449\">stole five originals<\/a> from it and replaced them with fakes under the not-so-watchful eye of museum security.
