Selbstporträt

In 2011, the Beltracchi case shook the international art world and changed our perspective on the business of art. For years, Wolfgang Beltracchi forged works by famous painters from various periods of art history and sold the paintings together with his wife Helene through international auction houses and galleries. In this book, the Beltracchis share their adventurous story, provide insights into the mechanisms of the art market, and debunk the myth of the infallible eye of the experts who verify the authenticity of artworks. Exciting, fast-paced, and artistically designed.
