Here's another fine-art scam that's much more high stakes than Mark Landis's mischievous tricks on museums. In Netflix's "Made You Look: A True Story About Fake Art," we get an insider look of the largest art-forgery scandal in the United States. New York City's prestigious Knoedler Gallery had sold around $80 million worth of fake art allegedly by Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Robert Motherwell. The gallery's former director, Ann Freedman, had been convinced by a dealer named Glafira Rosales that she was getting authentic paintings. It turned out that the esteemed pieces were actually counterfeits manufactured by Rosales, her boyfriend, and Pei-Shen Qian, a 75-year-old artist and math teacher.
