貝爾特拉奇醜聞涉及德國藝術家沃夫岡·貝爾特拉奇及其妻子海倫娜，他們在30年間偽造並出售了數百幅畫作，總價值超過1億美元。他們以20世紀著名藝術家（例如馬克斯·恩斯特）的風格創作“新”作品，並用偽造的來源欺騙了專家。兩人於2011年被判有罪。

醜聞的關鍵面向：手法：貝爾特拉奇並非直接複製，而是以著名大師（表現主義、野獸派）的風格創作原創作品。他編造故事，聲稱這些作品是「耶格斯/克諾普斯收藏」中遺失的傑作。

欺騙手段：海倫娜·貝爾特拉奇為這些作品偽造了歷史來源，甚至拍攝復古風格的照片，假裝這些畫作是祖傳的。

曝光：這對夫婦於2010年因科學分析而落網，具體來說，是在一幅1914年風格的畫作（海因里希·坎彭東克的《紅馬圖》）中檢測到了鈦白顏料，而這種顏料在當時並不常用。

後果：2011年，沃夫岡被判處六年監禁，海倫被判處四年監禁。他們被勒令支付數百萬美元的賠償金。

影響：許多贗品仍然被世界各地的私人和公共機構收藏。貝爾特拉奇於2015年初獲釋，此後成為了一位成功的藝術家，以自己的名義出售作品。

AI Overview

The Beltracchi scandal involved German artist Wolfgang Beltracchi and his wife Helene, who forged and sold hundreds of paintings worth over $100 million across 30 years

. By creating "new" works in the style of famous 20th-century artists (e.g., Max Ernst), they duped experts with fake provenance. They were convicted in 2011. 

Key Aspects of the Scandal:

• The Method: Instead of direct copies, Beltracchi created original works in the style of renowned masters (Expressionists, Fauvists). He fabricated stories claiming these were lost masterpieces from the "Collection Jägers/Knops".
• The Deception: Helene Beltracchi created fake historical provenance for the works, even posing in vintage-style photos to pretend the paintings were passed down from ancestors.
• The Exposure: The couple was caught in 2010 due to scientific analysis, specifically the detection of titanium white pigment in a 1914-style painting (Heinrich Campendonk's "Red Picture with Horses"), which was not in use at that time.
• The Fallout: In 2011, Wolfgang was sentenced to six years, and Helene to four years in prison. They were ordered to pay millions in restitution.
• Legacy: Many forgeries remain in private and public collections worldwide. Beltracchi was released early in 2015 and has since become a successful artist in his own right, selling work under his own name.
