If this is interesting to you, Orson Welles has an utterly fascinating kind-of-documentary (it's a bit genre defying) about art forgery, named "F for Fake".
It's a very strange movie, but it's worth a watch: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_for_Fake https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_for_Fake

- alexmingoia 6y agoI recommend also watching “Beltracchi: The Art of Forgery” documentary about Wolfgang Beltracchi, the infamous art forger. He tricked the international art world for almost 40 years, made millions selling forgeries, and went to prison for it. He even created paintings by famous artists that didn’t exist and convinced historians that they were newly discovered paintings. Fascinating stuff.
