The story of the charismatic and complex Mark Landis, perhaps the most prolific art forger in US history. For over 30 years, he’s duped curators with precise imitations of a vast range of works. Although he could sell them for millions on the open market, he gives away his counterfeits for free. Matthew Leininger, a registrar from Cincinnati, has been pursuing him for years.
