Chinese Artist Behind $80 Million Art Fraud
A struggling Chinese artist faked dozens of paintings as part of an elaborate $80 million New York art fraud, according to prosecutors.
Pei-Shen Qian is said to have created the works for Glafira Rosales, a dealer who sold them to galleries as genuine newly-discovered masterpieces by modernists such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko.
She has been charged with fraud and faces 34 years in jail if convicted.
