Wynne, Frank2017

This account of greed, hubris, excess, treason and fine art tells the story of a failed artist and the greatest forger of all time, who executed a swindle which both earned him money and the unwanted attention of the Nazis, as well as the eventual acclaim of the very critics who had mocked him.
