Karl Kujau

Karl Kujau is an artist whose work draws on the legacy of his great-uncle, Konrad Kujau, and the story associated with the Kujau forgeries. In his own words, he continues that artistic history by bringing Old Masters to life through each brushstroke. The brand presents paintings described as “Original Kujau-Fälschungen,” a framing that identifies them as Kujau’s own works rather than paintings by the historical artists they reference.

The portfolio includes interpretations of well-known subjects and styles associated with Vincent van Gogh, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Claude Monet, Leonardo da Vinci and Canaletto, alongside scenes of Dresden and other original subjects. Listed works include versions of Starry Night, The Luncheon of the Boating Party, The Ballerina and the Mona Lisa, as well as still lifes and landscapes. Karl Kujau also presents his paintings through exhibitions; a 2018 exhibition opened at Waldschlößchen in Meißen, Germany. The website focuses on his artistic vision, gallery and exhibition information, offering visitors an introduction to a practice inspired by celebrated art and the Kujau family story.
