Anthony Gene Tetro (born 1950), known as Tony Tetro, is an art forger known for his perfectionism in copies of artwork produced in the 1970s and 1980s. Tetro never received formal art lessons, but learned from books, by painting and experimentation. Over three decades, Tetro forged works by Rembrandt, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dalí and Norman Rockwell and others. Tetro's paintings and lithographs, known for their perfectionism, were sold by art dealers and auction houses as legitimate works and hang in museums, galleries around the world. He was caught after Hiro Yamagata found a forgery of his own work for sale in a gallery. In 1991, Tetro was called by Gary Helton, an investigator for a California district attorney, as being "one of the two major [art] forgers in the United State

Mitte der 1980er-Jahre flog er auf, als sein Auftraggeber gefälschte Aquarelle von an eine Galerie in Beverly Hills verkaufte, die in unmittelbarer Nähe zu einer Galerie war, die die exklusiven Verkaufsrechte von Yamagata hatte. Als der Künstler dort zu Besuch war, entdeckte er die Fälschungen. 1989 wurde Tetro nach einem Prozess, der sich viereinhalb Jahre hinzog, zu einer Gefängnisstrafe verurteilt. 1994 wurde er entlassen und bestritt seinen Lebensunterhalt von da an nur noch durch das Herstellen von Kopien bekannter Kunstwerke, die er mit seinem Namen signiert.
