Wolfgang Beltracchi, the ultimate risk-taker, pulled off the biggest art-forgery scandal of the past 100 years. Together with his wife, Helene, he created works in the styles of well-known 20th-century artists and introduced them into the market as originals. The charismatic and witty artist fooled Sotheby's, Christie's and other international art experts for nearly 40 years before being caught.
