Best Max Ernst's painting by a con artist

Interesting story about a con artist, Beltracchi, in tonight's "60 Minutes". He could spend 3 days to finish a fake Max Ernst painting worth $5M and was even recognized by the top art connoisseur as the best Max Ernst's painting. 98% of the paintings under the detailed examining of Raman Spectroscopy are fake. Next time when you are mesmerized by the paintings in the museums, they are likely to be made by the talented con artists.
