For 40 years, painter Wolfgang Beltracchi worked as an art forger. Using his artistic talent, knowledge of art history, and craftsmanship, he filled in the gaps in the development of great artists with paintings he created himself. His wife Helene then brought the paintings to the art market. Together, the couple duped art dealers, collectors, gallery owners, and experts around the world.
