David Voss

David Voss is a Canadian art forger of Indigenous artworks, in particular those of the artist Norval Morrisseau, of the Ojibway Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek First Nation who has been deceased since 2007.

Voss and a ring of eight others were arrested in 2023 for forging and selling works allegedly by Morrisseau for over a decade. Voss and his team worked in an assembly to produce forgeries using a "paint-by-numbers" process to create fake paintings.

ARTnews reported that "Voss oversaw the production of thousands of artworks falsely attributed to Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau." 500 of these forgeries have been seized by law enforcement as of June 2024.

Voss, who was 52 years of age at the sentencing, pleaded guilty to the art fraud ring charges. The sentencing judge declared the forgery ring as the "largest art fraud in history" in Canada. Artforum magazine called the operation the "world's biggest art fraud." In addition to Voss and Lamont, Benjamin Paul Morrisseau, who is a nephew of the artist Norval Morrisseau, participated in reparation activities with tribal elders. Also charged were James White of Essa Township and David P. Bremner of Locust Hill and Jeffrey Gordon Cowan of Niagara-on-the-Lake.
