Dealer Inigo Philbrick gets seven years in prison for 'one of the most significant frauds' in art-market history.

Inigo Philbrick is headed to prison. A U.S. District Court judge today sentenced the disgraced art dealer to serve seven years behind bars for crimes connected to his now-collapsed art-dealing business.

Dressed in brown prison clothes, Philbrick was escorted into the courtroom on Monday afternoon by two sheriffs. From behind his mask, his face looked thin; he showed little emotion during the roughly two-hour proceedings.Also in the room was his fiancée, reality television star Victoria Baker-Harber, with whom he shares a daughter, and Philbrick’s mother, Jane.

Midway through his statement, the judge interrupted him for a mandatory court break. When the session resumed, Philbrick said he was no longer going to read from the prepared statement he wrote in his jail cell.
