The World's Greatest Art Fraud - The Wolfgang Beltracchi story
The Wolfgang Beltracchi case is one of the most notorious art forgery scandals in history, where Beltracchi faked hundreds of paintings in the style of famous artists like Max Ernst, Heinrich Campendonk, and Fernand Léger. Rather than copying existing works, he created "newly discovered" paintings, complete with forged provenance, which fooled experts, collectors, and museums for decades. His scheme unraveled in 2010 when forensic testing detected modern titanium white paint in one of his supposed early 20th-century works.Wolfgang is not foine.
