2/27-WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT THE ART WORLD THAT A MASTERFUL FORGERY IS WORTHY ZERO, WHEREAS IF THE IDENTICAL PAINTING WERE DONE BY A FAMOUS ARTIST IT COULD BE WORTH MILLIONS?



WILLIAM KAVANNAH brings another wonderful stories about success descending upon people at times and ways and fields, all utterly unexpected.  All of a sudden Kavannah – a lawyer, producer, agent, impresario – decided he’d like to paint.  His earlier works are bringing in thousands of dollars.  A prominent “art-diagnostician” told CBS’s “60 Minutes” in their story about famous German art forger Wolfgang Beltracchi the the percentage of paintings that are frauds reaches a staggering NINETY-EIGHT PERCENT!  Kavannah visits with Sara and Barry this evening.
